Wink W203 to W209 and vice versa / Headrests

Anyone know if I can put headrests from C/W203 in CLK/W209 and vice versa?

Particularly interested in the front ones. But let me know if you're positive that the rear are also inter-changeable.

Thanks all!

I have heard that the rear headrests are extremely hard to remove/install and that a tell-tale sign of a salvaged w203 is scratches around the bases of the rear seat headrests. That information is buried somewhere here on the forum. With regards to the w209 vs w203 headrests, there is a CLK350 in my office's parking lot and the headrests look identical to those in my C55.

I checked the EPC and the part number for the front head rest on my W209 starts with a '203'. A cross reference confirmed that they are used in W203 and W209. The rears are another story. They start with a '209' and are only used in the W209s.

I thought the 209 had some sweet looking headrests? (the larger down looking boomerang style), maybe it was after the MMC?
