That thread is for a CC though. The QC is different and I wouldthink they come off the same as the front do. Althoughyou probably already tried that.Here is the thread for the fronts anyway.

Actually removing just the rear headrests is quite easy...

There is a small hole in the plastic trim piece on top of the seat that the metal bar for the headrest slides into. Fit a paper clip or something about that size and depressthe catch that holds the headrest in and pull up on the headrest.It may take a few tries, but not too tough at all.

When I had my QC tinted the tint guy was able to just lift the seat and it gave him enough clearance room between the ehadrest and the back window to maneuver back ther to get the tint on. Depends on the installer I suppose but my guy was more than capable.
