Please help! W208 convertible

Hi guys!

I am new here and in need of your help...

I was driving my car (faster than i should have) and because the road was very bad it.... how do i say it .... it touched the asphalt with its bottom.

The problem is that the *pillows* that are for the passengers, the rear seats, they went up and i cannot get them down When i press the button, i hear that they try to move, but nothing happens. And because they are at the highest position i cannot open the roof either...

Does somebody know how to *reset* them or something? What should i do?

First try the following:

Hold the headrest button on the center dash console "Up" for 8 seconds then release. Then try to see if functionality is restored.

If not, Unfortunately there is no "Easy" way to lower the rear headrests.

Here is a link to the process: https://mbworld.org/forums/clk-class...ml#post6588996

In some cases 3 of the 4 wheels have left the ground for some time. It is interpreted as a roll over. In this case a STAR reset (maybe others) is required.

Cheers, Gator
