Wagon Second Row Head Rest Not Dropping

So, in the wagon only one of the three head rest will drop when I hit the button on the console. The driver and passenger sides have a button to fold them manually but the middle one does not. How do we get it down? Also how do we get into the back of the seat to check things out? I see no bolts and do not want to start prying until I know where and if I should. Thank you in advance.

Anyone any pointers on how to get into the back of the seat?

I'm assuming you're pushing the button on the dash to drop the headrests?

You would probably be better off posting this in the base 211 forum

Have you check the wiring going into the base of the seat? You'll have to flip up the base of the seats and remove the carpet to get to them.

I will check again. Any clues as to how the back of the seat comes apart? Where the mechanism that drops the head rest is.

No. Sorry. I haven't had this issue with my car.
