    Anyone know how difficult it would be to pull the head rests from the trophy seats?

    should just pull right out, there is a lil button on the side of the plastic insert part that stays with the seat, but I think thats only needed for inserting them

    I remove them when I have to install my seat protector for my dogs. Easier than trying to clip the retention loops under the rests. Just push the button to remove and then again to reinstall. Easy peasy. They may be a little stiff, though. I don't think you can break them.

    OOPS, Trophy seats? I was thinkin' second row seats. Is there a difference? DOH?

    I pulled them out of my FJ Cruiser and same with the 4Runner. Amazing how much more rear view you get with these removed.

    I fold mine down for rear view. I do, occasionally, have rear passengers though, so I leave them in. Works pretty good.
