1998 CLK320 Cabriolet
W208 CLK Roll Over Bars (Rear Headrests)

I know this subject has been repeated for many years now but has anyone managed to find out what the dealers do to manually reset the rear headrests of a W208 CLK Cabriolet?

I think I've searched every thread over the past few months now and cannot find it. I know with the W209 you place a screwdriver down the headrest where the small stitching is, is the W208 a release bolt somewhere behind the rear seat or can it not be done?
