Default Somebody mentioned lowering their Roadster headrests

yesterday and I awoke to find 3 different emails from people who missed it and wanted the instructions.

Here is the link to them for anyone who missed them.

First take off the plastic cap by placing a flat screw driver under the cap and prying it up

The once the cap is up, take the flat screw driver and push from the front of the car towards the back on the *cotter* pin. Push it out until you can graab and remove the pin.
repeat on both for each seat.

Push the headrest down and put the clip back in. The replace the cap

And Voila' Better looking seats.

I would also imagine this will help keep the wind of my wifes neck in the cooler nights..Dont want any goose bumps =)

Default Did this yesterday -> Left clips out as the headrest still moves with them on...>>>

Plus if you accidentally pull the headrest back up, the clip clicks back into the notch and you have to start over.

Can the headrest be moved up and down?

Default yes

as mentioned, if you put the clips back in, they will re-engage the slot in the posts if you move the headrests back to max height. they won't cause a problem otherwise. i put the clips back in without thinking, but if/when they re-engage, I'll take them back out and leave 'em out the next time.
