Ever notice our rear head rest sorta blows? I mean all you can do from the front is press the button and the head rest goes down with a plunk.

So I'm here sitting going... hmmm W140.... power up and down headrest. Im like yeah I'll do that!

So I research the motor figuring thats what I'll need to make it work. They offer 2 kinds

140 970 03 25 and 140 970 08 25 I'm like cool.

Then the price comes up. almost 400 bucks EACH!!!! Nevermind. Ill just figure something else to tinker with.

Anyone with a W210 know if the headrest goes up and down with a switch?

210 970 04 25 at 75 bucks is more reasonable for a mod.

Are you looking for the headrests to move up and down on the metal poles rather than pressing the manual button that moves the headrest on it's notches on the poles??? Or are you looking for the headrest to move back and forth? I'm not quite reading you DOG!...

My 99 C230k has adjustable headrests via a motor, but only up and down on the metal poles. Is this what you're looking for??? Look at the picture HERE (http://www.club202.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=145) , there are 3 seat switches. The little one moves the headrest...

Ah, it was 7am in the morning and I just can't read... I don't think I have ever had the rear headrests in the upright position.

How bout you put some TV screens in the back of the rear headrests, then make it motor up and swivel so it faces the front?

That's the plan! It's all about being different - people have screens on the back of their headrests facing backwards - let's get some facing FORWARD! :D

This might not be an option in the US, but it is over here... I've also heard that some drop the headrests automatically when Reverse is engaged - and then raises them again afterwards ;)

in my 210 the rear headrest could be raised and lowered witha button. Mine was a 1998 E320 full optioned, including winter package.
