Removing Mercedes Headrests (C-Class)

How to remove the front headrests on a 2008-2014 Mercedes C-Class. Includes both power and manual headrests.

[@WigoFellas]

*6:48** The power headrest doesn't have the button on the headrest itself so there's nothing to push. Therefore i have not been able to remove the power headrest. Do you have any idea how to remove the power headrest? The video was extremely helpful for the passenger headrest tho..*

Nice try but too much jerking the camera all over to even feel confident that I am doing the right thing and not setting off my airbag!!!

[@Windschutzscheibe]

Those shoes and the sheep skin seat covers say it all...:D

[@newmexicojoe5443]

NOT TRUE! Does NOT include the POWER headrest. No information on how to remove the headrest from the power unit (without breaking something).

Instead of using a screwdriver and do it the hard way you can also use a piece if tape. Just place the tape on the gab at the left bottom of the headrest bar. Now you can easily remove the headrest.

I’m struggling putting the back on.

hey where did u buy those sheepskin car seat covers

[@Dre_98]

Hey bro, did you disconnect the battery? I’m not sure if I missed it in the video. I’ve been told by a few people that you need to disconnect the battery first before dealing with the airbag system.

Hey man thanks for this video. By the way, I misplaced my Mechanical keys in my W203 while the gloves compartment is locked. Is there any way I can open the gloves compartment without breaking the locks? I will be glad if you can help. Cheers

[@getfit_1.2.1]

I have a 2012 C200 Mercedes. Where is the headrest air bag located?

[@juancarlosmariano5304]

Can I start the engine and drive the car without the headrest? It will not throw the airbag on?

[@0044512]

Perfect, thank you for the video.

If your W204/C Class doesn’t have powered headrest and are manual, there is a much easier way to remove them because you don’t need to unplug the yellow connector because manual headrests don’t have that power cord. Take an aluminum soda can and cut out a rectangle about 1 inch wide by 3 inches long. That’s just rough dimensions, you can trim it down a little if need be but just be careful because the aluminum edges will be sharp. The headrest pole has notches cut in it that catches to raise and lower it into position. Slide the aluminum shim around the headrest pole that has the notches, and this will block the notches so the catch button won’t lock it into place. It takes a couple of tries to get the aluminum shim you made into position, but keep trying and you’ll get it. I’ve done it a few times and I can now get both headrests off in less than 5 minutes. Hope this tip helps, because it’s a lot easier and faster than taking the seat back off. Just remember that my way only works on non powered headrests. If you can adjust your headrests with an electric switch, you’ll need to do it like he did.

helped a lot, thanks!

Thank goodness for Google and UTube. I learned how to remove the headrest in my Mercedes C320. Thank you very much - ingenious use of a strip of aluminium from a beer can to get past the ratchet. Only downside is that I had to have a pint of Cider at 11 am. Big sacrifice!...Jonathan

[@kjasghi2364r9sdfnkj]

I just learned how to remove them on mine too, and lol you deserve the pint

[@yvongauthier7107]
