1999 TD5 GS,one of the third row headrests keeps dropping down slightly rather than staying up to the headlining like it should. Any ideas on why its doing this and how to repair it?:D

to remove one

1. fold down the offending head rest, and the other one too.

2. take out six clips from the upper trim panel that runs across the car above the back door, and take off the trim panel.

3. undo three bolt that hold the duff headrest to the car, and take it off.

Haynes One-Spanner job!

You'll never guess how to re-fit the thing ...

I reckon that once you have it off, you will be able to work out why it sinks a bit. Has it been used quite a lot?

Thanks Charles I will give it a go tomorrow



I worry about the six screws.
Do all models have them as I described?
I am not sure.

Whatever, the idea is the same - get that upper trim panel off, and then undo three nuts or screws, and off she comes.

Took it down today and have found the root of the problem. The headrest had been pulled down while still locked in place, causing the bodywork where the bolts fix to be pulled outwards! so banged the panel flat again and off to get the headrest bracket welded in place because the nuts have been pulled through the metal work!!! I cant believe anyone could cause this much damage to a car because they are too stupid to use a catch!!

"Dear God,
