Removing those plastic rings around the seat headrest posts?

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Your choices are:

A. Don't remove them, you can do all your upholstery work, including removal and install, with
those in place, 

B.  Reach up inside and compress the 3 or 4 little tangs all at once and slide them out.  These
dudes are about 6" long.  I used a baster tube to slip over the inside end - it just happened to
be the right size.  It's a grand PITA.  After all this, I had pretty beat up hands - and they're
ugly on a good day.  Also, I thenceforth switched to method A, above, with wunnerfull results.
