HELP on removing seat headrest
Eyesore finally got to me - it's a minor scratch in the black leather on the passenger's side headrest ... anyone know how simple or complicated it is to remove the headrest from the seat and replace with a new one ... I rather not risk breaking something else 
in the process $$$ ... trying to figure this one out. I'm told the seats can be very tricky.
While I was looking up prices ... I saw the new headrest on the newer MY09 SLs ... sharp!
Has anyone been successful switching out their old headrest to this newer style?

Got the info I need!
While waiting to pick up my wife's car ... a very knowlegeable mechanic at the Lambo dealership (in Sarasota) took the time out to show me how to remove the head-rest. A true Italian mechanic certified in Italy ... but worked on MB at a private Euro garage before he got this gig.
I'll let you all know if the newer style headrest fits the MY08 and earlier seats.
