how do you safely remove the headrest slider do-dads?

im trying to replace the do-dads that the headrest slides into, the ones on the back of the seat with the little locking latch.

I cant figure out how the hell they come off.

I can source several good replacements at the salvage yard for almost nothing but I cant figure out how they come off.

they wiggle a little so I assume they snap into place but how do you remove them so they can be reused?

I hope someone out there knows and can help me.

 

I'd get them first, then you can see how they mount.

 

im not buying new ones so I need to know how they come off to take them off a second hand seat I already have without breaking them

 

Oh yeah that wouldn't work. I can check the FSM when I get home if you want, just send me a pm later to remind me.

 

don't know if FSM even covers stuff like that but PM sent
