I have a new Escape and need to put seat covers on. How do I remove the head rests? I can extend them all the way but cannot get them to release.

Welcome aboard!

What's the model year of your Escape?

Thanks. It's a 2008.

Since you already know about the control button under one post of each headrest, look for a concealed control under the opposite post, only on the front head rests. That control should have a small hole. If you push a piece of wire (like a straightened paper clip or a small allen wrench) into that control while lifting up the head rest, it should pull right off.
