I thought it just came out (headrest+metal rods etc)...

In which case, I'd say just line up the new rods with the holes and stick it in?

The simplest things in life go back to natural instinct sometimes don't they?

I don't think it is as simple as pulling it out in these cars, especially with active headrests.

Lilbenz is right, the active headrests are much more complicated than holding and pulling (removal) and pushing the rods into the holes (install)...Now, how to do it is a question I cannot answer
