Rear head rests

[Merc808]

Hi Friends,
W202 220D Elegance 1995 . The rear headrests have stopped dropping, I get a clicking noise when pressing the button, but no drop any ideas ?

Press the button and get someone to gently pust the head rests, mine stuck the first time i put them up, dont think they had been up for a long time. Then i put them up and dropped them a few times like a kid with a new toy. Now the go down ok!

Don't go mental on them though its not nice!!

Just tried that, no joy. I gave them quite a rocking whilst friend was pressing the button. Can you access them from the boot or is it rear seat out ?

Remember that they only work whilst the engine is running IIRC.

Maybe he has been checking them without? Eg if his friend is crawling around in the back!

Sometimes it is the most obvious things that catch people out
