    Can the head rests be removed from a 1997 355 Berlinetta and if so is there a trick involved as I can't get mind off just up...

    Are the 355 seats similar to 348 seats?

    Here's how I pulled my passenger side headrest out of my 348 Spider.

    It's easy. First, you must raise your headrest all of the way up and then pry your two black bushes upward until they are both out of the seat.

    I just used a flat blade screwdriver. No problem.

    Next, you've got to wiggle the headrest just a bit so that the forward-facing notches on the two metal headrest posts are pushed back away from the two headrest-post latches in the seat, and as they are no longer blocked by the latches you can simultaneously lift your headrest up and out of your seat.

    The only way that this works is for the bushes to first be raised up and out of the way. When they are up/out of the seat, then your two metal posts will have "wiggle" room. That will let you get around the latches.
