Passenger seat rattle, revisited.

I am going *******g nuts!!I have narrowed it down to the headrest, when the headrest is removed no rattle, I need to figure out how to take the headrest apart, then I can figure out the rattle issue.
If I can't figure it out, I will drop the headrest off at the dealer and let them figure it out.

A quick fix is, remove the passenger side headrest. Extend the headrest to it's most upright position, then just pull it out.

FIXED!!! I walked into to the dealer with my headrest and told the tech it was rattling, he whips out a special tool, dismantles the headrest, lubes up the inside workings, pops it back together, so far so good, NO RATTLE. The entire process took less than two minutes.
