Took my backseat headrests out to get an idea of how it would look to have an unobstructed view, and to clean the windows behind them. Now I can't get the damn things back in. Any tips?

Default Pop the bottoms up

Unlatch the bottoms like you were going to fold them up, as you do this the backs will tilt slightly forward and allow headrest to go back in.

That rear passenger headrest does create a huge blind spot, I'll agree with you there.
I've taken them out, folded them forward. Now I just deal with it.

So folding up the seats did the trick. It brought the top part of the seat forward enough to put them back in very easily. Thanks!

Having 2 childseats in the back, I see no need for those headrests, thanks for the great idea! I'm gonna remove them, will have a much better view

I took mine out until I realized they were not in sight of my rear view mirror. .for the road anyway..If i had a need to see the top few inches of the bed..then they would block the view
Now I just keep them folded
I've got supercab. .not sure if supercrew is different
