    If the bottom notch was beveled like all of the other notches, I would think the headrest would then be removable. A bench grinder should be able to take care of that.

    Is the pin be too deep/long to allow reinserting the headrest?

    Can the sping/pin be removed without removing the plastic sleeve? It looks accessible.

    Here's what I'm thinking...

    1) remove the seat back
    2) pop off the spring/pin assy
    3) remove the headrest
    4) bevel the last notch
    5) reinstall the headrest
    6) reinstall the pin assy
    7) reinstall the seat back

    I tend to take the path of least resistance...AKA, the easy way out...

    I'm thinking bevel the last notch in place with a dremel...
