How to unlock the headrests of the Mercedes CLK

Model: Mercedes Clk W209, A209, C209 - Years 2002-2010

Today we will explain how to unlock the mechanism of the rear headrests that have become stuck inside or completely outside the rear seat of a Mercedes CLK vehicle. To perform this operation independently, we will need to use a long lever made of rigid plastic or metal. To unlock the headrest, we will need to insert the lever into the right side and after engaging the clip, pull it outwards. Once the headrest is completely outside, we can insert it back in and extract it when needed. The reasons for the blockage may also be related to the cold.
