Question how to remove headrest

My wife bought me sheepskins for my 89 420SEL, but in order to install them, I have to remove the headrests.

does anyone know how this is done? They are motorized, and don't seem to have any "release" buttons.

there is a button on the back of the seats that looks like there is a quarter suck inside the leather, raise the headrests to the highest position, push it & while holding it down pull up on the headrests. The location is in the manual if you still have it.
