Headrest question for 300e

Dec 20, 2003 3 Replies

I know this topic has probably been hashed over many times here, but I have a question about my drivers side head rest. It goes up but will not lower when the button is pushed. I know some linkage must be worn or broken, I was wondering how hard of a fix it is...and how complicated is it to get the seat back off.



Thanks - Vincent


My 300CE does the same thing. I just push the headrest down with my hand.

To remove the head rest you need to raise it up and a notch that is not visible at the back had to be pushed to release it. If the headrest is forced the plastic part that hold the headrest can be broken. If that is the case you can open the back part of your seat and replace it. Cheap way to fix it is using either a tie wrap or metal wire to hold it, but you will not be able to remove it.
