With the Spitfire and Dolomite seats (same headrests), you need to push down
on the headrest, then snatch it upwards. I've found some which are quite
stiff, but I've always managed to get them to move eventually. The headrest
should push down further than it's lowest fixed position to allow you to do
this.
        Good Luck,
                Bill.
