I figured it out. You have to pull the 2 plastic covers off the rods and push in the spring loaded clip things and it pops right up

Theres a hidden button on the other side. Pop off the little plastic cover and theres another button on it. Push them both in at the same time while pushing up on the headrest and it comes right out.

You should not remove the headrest. In fact, you'll fail any reasonable tech inspection if you do.

^ and the seatbelt thing is held on by a couple of push nuts. Pliers should do the trick.

The headrest interfers with my helmet even with the seat tilted back. Cant tilt it back anymore without making operating the car impossible. I guess thats what I get for being 6 ft 2 300 Lbs and having a XXL helmet. Im going to look at getting another headrest and slightly bending the rods to give me and extra 1&1/2 clearance.
