C36 Rear Headrests

Anyone have any problems with the rear headrests not going down?

I have changed the main vacuum distributor in the engine compartment with no luck. I press the switch on the dash and I hear the relay clicking, but the headrests do not release. Any suggestions.

I know someone posted info on this specific problem either on this board or on club 202. I suggest do a search - it has been a problem that comes up often on MB's which is why I read it.

C36 Headrests

Thanks StapleGun. I believe that is the part on my C36 that is located in the rear deck and Mercedes said they have never changed it and the part is a custom order. I guess that is my next try.
