Default How to remove the headrest locks?

Howdy!
Just received my seat covers. Removed the headrests but could not figure out how to remove the plastic locks that hold them on place. Any hints very appreciated. :-)
Thanks!

So I can install the back covers. The two holes on top are too small to go around these plastic locks.

What type seat covers do you have? I just installed my coverkings and those holes look too small but they stretched over the headrest locks and tucked in underneath them nice and neat.

They are Coverking. I ordered the cordura type. It seems they designed the covers based on the neoprene type, which stretches. Cordura simply does not bulge. If I try to push this around the plastic lock it will rip.

I am also having problems with the back seat set. That cordura thing does not stretch.

Well...finally managed to make the cover's holes go through. I cut a larger hole and managed to dress the cover around the plastic lock.
Still struggling with a back seat zipper. Looks like I'll need another pair of hands for that one.
