Picked up a new 2021 GLA this past weekend. So far so good! A few questions
1. The rear headrests don't go flush against the backrest? I feel with an already small back window having them stick up more than they need to intrudes on the view. I watched some YouTube videos and saw them flush but I can't seem to get mine down more the last click.
2. Think I want to add an illuminated star, does anyone have the part number for the GLA?
3. I want to add the Logo LED projectors, can you only add to the front doors? Also anyone have a good source for these?
Appreciate the help!

I removed the center headrest for more visibility. There is a pin in one of the chrome shafts that prevents the headrest from being pulled all the way up and out. I'm sorry that I don't recall how I got access to the pin. Perhaps you can access and remove it by opening the pass-through door.
Congrats. I wish you many happy miles. Cool color and nice picture.
Thank you! First thing I need to add is the AMG style wing over the factory spoiler. I will try to get an after market from Ali Express or eBay.
We have GLE 2018 350. So we are MB Family

CORRECTION: Actually there is a detent (not a pin) in the left chrome rod that prevents the headrest from being removed. You can see it in the attached photos. You can open up the back of the rear seat by removing two hex head screws next to the armrest on the side of the fold-down rear seat.
You can’t add a illuminated star as there are sensors behind the original star. And yes you can only add logo puddle lights to the front doors. I have two spare ones as I made the same mistake lol.
I noticed that too when I test drove... when I bought my lexus is 250 15 years ago, I removed one of the headrests & lowered the middle one but the Mercedes sales rep told me it couldn't be done?
