The clips were in the plastic bushing for the headrest. I was looking and
looking and when I finally got out the flashlight and shone it at the
bushing I could see it. Once they were out the headrest slides right out. To
get the bushings out I used a washer to compress the plastic tongs and
applied upward pressure on it while poking a screwdirver at the lower prongs
that were sticking. It popped right out.
