Default Adjusting headrests on supra seats?

There is a little tab on the side but I cannot get it to work so I can slide the headrests up and down. These are 93 supra front seats and I know a lot of fellow SC owners have this. Can someone help? Thanks!!!

If I remember correctly, they're not really adjustable. On the older Supra seats like the one you have, there is a tab on the headrests to completely remove the headrest. They don't adjust up or down like the stock SC headrests. I don't remember how the tab works, but I remember it taking a lot of effort to get the headrests off...I wouldn't bother with it unless you're taking them off to rewrap or something.

Edit...Here are a few links:

I've got a set of Supra seats, and the headrests DO move up and down and pull right out, but they're not adjustable per se. So they can't be shifted up to accomodate a taller driver for example. To remove the headrests press the outside of the seat 'shoulder' firmly just below where between the seat and the headrest join is, while pulling the headrest upwards. Can't really explain better than that - sorry!

Check the photo's - There's a DIY to add notches to the headrests to allow up and down adjustment.
