I haven't looked yet, but how easy do the headrests come off the seats in Suburbans and Tahoes, especially the second and third row seats? I plan to replace the headrests on my 2nd and 3rd row with the taller headrests from front row seats. Thanks!

Lift them up as far as they go, look for a small hole, and stick something in there while pulling up (I used a paper clip).

The headrests come out easily with something like a good-sized paper clip end pressed into the small hole as the headrests are lifted up.

After I purchased my Tahoe many years ago, I removed the front-row headrests, and both of them now reside in the Lubbock County dump. The second-row headrests are now in the front-row seats. The third-row headrests are now in the second-row seats. And the third-row seats also reside in the Lubbock County dump.

Now the seating and headrests are as they should have come from the factory when I ordered the Tahoe. My head is happy, and I can see clearly what's behind my vehicle. :D
