Oscar Wilde: Neil, you know what's coming next don't you?

Also applies to electric headrests. :(

Yes, my other rear electric headrest has jammed in the down position.
Exactly the same symptoms as the first one that failed at AITP so long ago. :-(

I'll be looking for some help sometime to get the rear seat off and investigate/rectify. Not a one man job methinks. :tuttut:

Aha! that PROVES that it wasnt my fault then methinks! :D
All I did was press the button to see how it worked!!

You've clearly not heard about my legendary non-mechanical skills Andrew . . . . I'd be delighted to pop in when passing soon and help dis-assemble everything!! :eek:

Seriously though we will pick a mutually agreeable day and I'll pop through Dibley and see you there! Can we fix it? No No No No . . . Yes! +++

:ROFL: you guys....

It's just another job on the never-ending list James. :ROFL:
(welcome to D2 S8 world ......)

Just curious....what are you guys using to patch the plastic sleeve after cutting it short?

Both of my rear headrests stopped working but I hear the motors. So it's a problem with the sleeve. I've read of two methods of securing the sleeve again and was going to do a test in my car to see which one provides a more reliable fix. These are the link I'm using for reference:

To a degree it doesn't really matter as all it has to do is hold the cable in place so it can do it's work. It does need a small amount of mechanical strength though, and the engineer in me says the fuel hose/clamp fix is stronger than the shrink wrap/cable tie fix!
