but i didn't get that package where you can fold the seat down...

the tints guy had a hard time pulling it out so that they can tint it nicely... they managed to get it out but wanted me to put it back in later and wait for the tint to heal...

anyone had a hard time putting it back in... the one without those package... i think it was the $3000 package

Sunday i have tinted my windows, removing the headrests was terrible, but after pulling hard they go out.

When the guy was doing my front windows i have putt the headrests back, it's not easy but i have done it without touching my window.

First put the long stem in the hole and push your headrest hard in the hole keeping it away from your window. dont know how to explain it, just do it!!

I had the same problem when I got my windows tinted... didnt feel like messing with it so i took it to the dealership and they didnt "know" how to get it back in which means they just didnt feel like doing it either. rockin the no middle headrest for now.

there are some plastic fasteners and probably a couple of bolts you can remove from the trunk to remove the back seat... i haven't looked, but come on its a car seat... how hard can it really be?
