97' E320 - Trying to remove power head rests?
Hello - I am trying to remove the headrests off my 97 E320. I cant see any "release" features like the manual headrests on my wifes KIA. Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated!

NEG .. but i think i am not lowering the seat far enouhg. I have kid car seats in the back, and only lowered it until it hit the car seat. It would not release no matter what i tried. Do i need to lower it ALL THE WAY back & down to get it to release???

As for reclining the seat you only need to move it far enough so that the head restraint has enough clearance to move upwards without hitting the headliner.
Good luck.
