Abstract

A plastic guide is provided for mounting a headrest to a vehicle seat back. The guide is an elongated plastic member having a through bore, locking tangs on one end, intermediate shoulders, which terminate in spaced fingers, a trim flange on the other end, and a spring finger entering the bore. The guide is inserted through a hole in the upholstery of a trimmed seat back and through aligned apertures in a seat frame tube so that the locking tangs cooperate with the shoulders to lock the guide to the tube and the fingers snap over the tube to prevent relative rotation. The spring finger engages detent notches in the headrest support post to position the headrest relative to the seat back. An axial slot in the guide permits insertion of an elongated tool to pry the spring finger out of a locking notch to enable removal of the post to separate the headrest from the seat back.
