Sorry you didn't get a decent answer from anyone. More interested in having their own brand of fun.

Least they could have said WHY they can't be removed if anyone knows. Or just "use a hacksaw" at least would have been better answer than most.

The question was answered right away by Steve. Does it matter why they can't be removed? They're part of the release mechanism that flips the headrest down when you flip the seat down or hit the button on the screen that we get so much joy out of.

bringing this back to life...

how is a katzkin install done then?

curious because I will be converting my stock cloth to stock RT leather and will need to know how to do this..

Im fairly confident it can be done by removing and disasembling the seats..

actually you can take the whole assembly out- and looks like there's some pins you can pull just to remove the headrest from the posts:

23 - Body / Seats / HEADREST, Third Row / Removal

1.Release the j-clips (2) and remove the headrest cover (1) from the headrest.

NOTE:

Illustration shown with headrest cover removed for clarity.

2.Release the clips (1) and remove the headrest (2) from the pivot mechanism posts

3.Remove the seat back cover. (Refer to 23 - Body/Seats/COVER, Seat Back - Removal)

4.Disconnect the cable end (3) and separate the cable housing (4) from the headrest mechanism (2).

5.Remove the bolts (1) and remove the headrest mechanism (2).

REMOVAL

(SORRY pics are in reverse order for whatever reason)

I don't feel bad anymore. I receive a great deal of joy popping my kids with that. Now I never hear, "are we there yet", nor do they even really whine. Therefore I just do it at random (accidentally).

I don't know how I missed this one before now, but I do the exact same thing. It's fun, the other kids usually get a laugh, and I never have to hear whining from the back row. It's nice, haha

My kids car seats are in the 2nd row. I did whack my mother in law with them twice when she becomes a back seat driver, or just opens her mouth.

I've already threaten my older two kids with whacking them in the head if they fight back there.

as mentioned by michaelk above.. the headrest themselves can be removed from 3rd row... as for the posts that attach to them... believe removal would be a little more difficult, perhaps permanent...

this is pic of 2nd row 60 bench (drivers side) but same goes with the 3rd row...

Haha I do the same thing! I hit my daughter her friend on the back of the head when they were misbehaving. I told them I could hit them in the head from where I was and they didn't believe me. So I hit the button and BOOM! LOL.

Not True, they CAN be removed, I posted a DIY of it:

With the headrest up you cannot get a wide view of the rear window, especially if you have car seats in them, so I looked all over for a way to remove the 3rd row Headrest, but couldn't find one. So I analyzed it and just dove in. I did the drivers side headrest and figured I should post the...

I can honestly say my 3rd row seats have never been up in my 2017 durango. Must see what they look like and maybe dust them.
