Headrest / Roll Bars Randomly Popping Up - 2009 CLK550 Cabriolet W209
The headrest / roll bars have been popping up without any reason while driving. Every time I reset the headrests, they pop back up after 3-4 weeks of driving. I don't have any problem resetting them nor is there an issue with how quickly they pop up. It just keeps happening while I'm driving on smooth roads, no bumps, etc...
Keep in mind, the 2009 CLK550 does not have an up / down reset button on the dash console as the earlier models do. This model requires unlocking and physically pushing the headrests / roll bars back down and locking them in reset position.
Is there is a relay that could be replaced? If so, which fuse box would it be in and which relay in that fuse box? Any thoughts or suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.

NO LONGER ACTIVE
There is an inclination sensor built into the soft top controller. My guess is that is is failing, and as far as I know, the only solution is to replace the entire control module. The soft top control module is located in the trunk, under the carpeting, in front of the spare wheel well.
