Question Rear headrests

Is there a manual release to lower the rear headrests?

are you asking if there is a non-electric method of lowering the head restraint?
don't think so..other than pulling the rear seat back out. see your manual
about folding seat down

On mine, there is a button on the lower center dash that looks something like a seat headrest. I didn't know what it was until I pushed it one day and it dropped the rear headrests. Nice feature. Not sure if all E's have it though.

Yeah, I think they all have this button. You have to raise them manually, but if you push that button, which ever ones are raised with flop down.

Long story short - after a Sirius install the button on the dash is nonfunctional. I'll be taking the car back this weekend to have it fixed. I would have thought that there would be a manual release somewhere in the trunk, oh well.
