removing a passenger seat headrest on w211
Just managed to finally remove the headrest on passenger seat. I have electrically adjustable headrests. First thing to do is to lover the headrest all the way down. then you need to unscrew 2 screws at the back of the seat, right at the bottom so you can remove the back panel of the seat. Mine didnt come off fully as i have a lumbar support handle on the side, but i let me pull in to the side enough. then at the to you will see the mechanism that raises and lowers the headrest. it will be easier to see it if the headrest is fully down. you will also see the bars and the left one pulls out easily but the right one has like a half a spacer that attaches a wire to it so the wire doesn't wobble about. That spacer is what keeps the headrest from just pulling it out. after you remove the spacer the headrest will just slide out easily. I am yet to test if pulling the bars apart fixed the rattle.
