Headrest won't come off

External Since: Jul 29, 2005 Posts: 1

In order to use the back of my newly bought 1983 W123 300TD
(stationwagon) to its full extention, I need to remove the headrests
from the rear seatbacks when converting the "setup". How can this be
done - it really is a puzzle to me. What have I overlooked please?

TIA

If the rears are like the fronts, there is a button under the upholstery
that you need to push to get them out. Pull the headrests up as far as
possible, then feel around on the back of the seat along the line of the
headrest posts. Partway down there should be a button. Push it HARD
and pull up on the headrests. That should release them.
