'06 R 500

horrible headrest angle

We are looking to buy an '06 MB R500 with very low mileage and the headrests are killer, in a bad way! The manual says they do not pop out (that has been our go-to save for other cars--just pop it out, flip, and reinsert), and I am wondering how to fix the problem. Both my 20 year old, in perfect health with no neck problems, just very good posture, and myself, got stiff after a short test drive. Do we just pass up the car?

Isnt that where they pop out in an incident/harsh braking or accident. After you have to press it back in till it clicks? Read that somewhere. Mine are ok.
