There are notches in the head restraint guide rods so that the head restraint can lock into place. Only  
properly installed head restraints can lock into place at the adjustment range notches. In order to  
prevent inadvertent removal of the head restraints after installation, there are stops at the top and  
bottom of the adjustment range.
