I have my sons gn installed with the latch. My manual says to remove the head rest. I followed the directions and even had. My fiance try. The head rest will not remove! I pushed the button in and pulled up...and it will adjust up and back down bit will not remove. Am I doing something wrong? Is it ok to leave it on? I tried the other side of the car and that one won't remove either. The seat fits wells and is tightened well so I believe its safe..but the manual says to remove..and I can't!

I'm curious about this. I have just gotten a GN and I have this same vehicle. My head rest comes out. Didn't know we are supposed to. Is this only with latch?
On my ford escape, the latch hooks rotate. I have three on the roof of my car and they all swivel. So do I need to twist? I will take a pic of it and post it when I can. Are they not suppossed to swivel? I never knew all these rules! My car manual is lacking a lot of this information, and if this is true why is it not in the manual?

You do need to twist because they are on the ceiling, so above the seat instead of on a console or the floor and below the seat. If you don't rotate, you are coming in upside down. So you want the opening of the hook to be facing up and hooking over the anchor rather than opening down and hooking between the anchor and the ceiling.
Mine rotate, too. I always push them around so they are closest to the seat and then hook it on. Otherwise, it will rotate and introduce slack. I don't know if that really matters, but that's what I do.
