Removed mine a couple weeks ago. I can actually see out the rear now.

At first, I was like


Now I am like

 

just picked up an unlimited Jk and as soon as we got home from the dealership this was the first thing i did. easy to do! now I can see and my son's car seat sits a little better back there.

great mod!

 

Planning on removing mine this week, but have the rear airbags in the seat and not sure if that will give me problems. Has anyone remove one with the rear seat air bags?

 

Removing the headrests won't interfere with the airbags. All you're really doing is removing the top bracket that attaches to the headrests & the cable that engages the locking mechanism when you fold the seats.

 

Just popped the springs off mine. EZ! took less than 5 minutes.
Thanks for the how to with pics.

 

How do I remove the rigid headrests off of my 2-door JK. I feel what looks like a slide or button at the base, but nothing moves.

I have not even had a passenger in the back seat yet, but don't like to drive it tumbled all the time. I like being able to throw my camera or hiking gear in the back seat without opening the tailgate. The visibility is ridiculous.

 

Just did it. Not long and easy with no hack saw needed. Screw driver and 3/8 wrench. No damage and can install back when wife yells at me about kids neck in few years. If I don't forget what I did with them.

 

There's a button on both posts which makes it annoying to push them in AND lift the headrests. They should pull right out.

 

There are no rear airbags in wranglers as the side supplemental airbags are for front passengers only.

My 2012's don't seem to remove easy. I wish I could tip them down during the week when driving primarily by myself then have my kids tip them back when needed.

 

Fold your rear seats forward until the headrest unlatches(tilts back)
Attach a strap or bungie from it to the bottom of the back seat Rest

This will hold it folded back until you need it for a rear passenger
Just release the strap and it will spring back into position
