Driver's seat trim removal.

[AmbroseJohn]

My driver's seat head rest adjustment doesn't work. I found the little circle in the leather and pressing it, it seems to click a switch but nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to remove the plastic trim on the rear of the seat, to gain access to the mechanism?

Have you tried it with the ignition on? I was caught out by this

[AmbroseJohn]

Yes, ignition on and with car running.

Hi John

I seem to recall that I had to manually move the headrest whilst pressing the button with power on but once set if I adjusted the seat height the head restraint electrically adjusted its height automatically the thing that slightly annoys me is that the swing of the restraint seems to easily move and needs to be pulled out periodically.

I've tried all sorts. Pulled it pushed it whilst pressing the button but it won't move.

Hi again

Doesn't sound good for you. This might sound crazy but have you tried lowering the seat to its lowest height before attempting to adjust or for that matter the highest. Anything sooner than disassembly.

I'll give it a try. I'll try anything. :)
