Headrest removal 2005 SL500 R230

Need to change out headrest. Saw a few post about just pulling it out once fully extended to top. Called and checked around with a few local shops and they all say seat back has to come off to remove clip first. Help......What is the correct method to remove this headrest? Thanks

As you do not have code SA403 attached to your VIN, you are correct----move all the way to the top and lift out slightly forward---install in the reverse!!
