A post of mine on a different site will help you source these gears...FYI

Like virtually everyone that's posted and been following this topic, my driver's side headrest went out a few weeks ago. Thanks to my creative Indy Tech, we sent the broken gears off to Odometer Gears in Newport News, VA. The owner, Jeff Caplan is also a creative problem solver and using my gear set as templates, has made up sets of replacement gears that are available for sale. Contact Jeff for details.

These gears are exact replicas of the originals, except in a better nylon/plastic material that won't degrade as quickly as the originals do. Mine have been in the car for about 2 weeks and have been flawless in performance.

If interested in sets for your cars, Jeff can be reached at:

Headrest Gears

So Odometer.com doesn't do the headrest gears anymore... Does anyone know where I can get new headrest gears for my 91 Sl500?
