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. ![]()

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: http://forums.quattroworld.com/a8/msgs/67713.phtml https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=capQ...ature=youtu.be

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!
