How to Remove Headrests in a 1997 Lincoln Town Car

The Lincoln Town Car first reached the market in 1981. In 2003, Ford Motor Company began offering a bulletproof model of the Town Car for security purposes. The Town Car is also one of several models used by limousine companies as a transportation vehicle. The front headrests of the 1997 Lincoln Town Car are adjustable and removable. Remove the headrests from your Town Car to clean, detail or replace them.

Instructions

1. Push in on the retaining tab located on the outer edge of the headrest, near the top of the seat.

2. Hold the retaining tab in while lifting up on the headrest. Pull the headrest all the way up until you remove it completely from the mounting holes.

3. Line up the metal posts of the headrest with the mounting holes to replace it. Push in the retaining tab and insert the headrest. Push the headrest all the way down against the seat, then release the tab.
