Removing the headrests completely would be a safety hazard if you were in a collision.
True, I would not remove them altogether. That wouldn;t be good at all for passengers.
The headrest do not just pull out. If they did, the GM would be open for somne bad lawsuits for the peopel that took tehm out and had their passengers head's slam into the midgate glass.
I had an SUT and hated the fact of moving the seats up all the time to have the dogs back there. Same exact scenario with the Avalanche.
This mod will work. I'm just not sure about the holes around the bezel. It may only have one hole. I cannot remember.

Re: SUT REAR SEAT MOD
Never have had anyone in the rear seats. They have been folded down for 56K miles. Thought seriously of using bolt cutters on them once. I have removed the padded rests as suggested above, but then the rods are flopping all over. Can not find a picture in my OEM repair manual that shows the inside of the back of the rear seat. Guess I will tolerate them a while longer. Thanks for your thoughts.

Definately! Something interesting is that our family's old Suburban (1997 maybe?) used to have headrests that you HAD to remove the fold the seats. Then you would stick them in the supplied holes that appeared on the lower seat cushion when you raised it up. It was a PITA!

Re: SUT REAR SEAT MOD
that is one thing i hated about my two avalanches. Being 6'4" tall it was not comfortable to ride with my knees in the dash when i had the midgate down. Being that i have the SUV, i dont have the issue.
