Yes the rear headrest can be removed with an allen wrench or anything strong and small enough to fit in that hole so that you can push on the release. (crazy system - maybe Ford wanted to prevent kids from removing the headrest when we're driving...) for the driver and passenger side headrest you need to push on the protuding button located at he Right base (if seated you twist around) and at the same time depress the flushed button on the Left base and push up the all headrest. (I tried all that yesterday afternoon). Now I have to find head rest less canted that fit in these seats...
