whats happening fellas....my drivers side headrest wont stay in the foward position.....its very loose...if i move it forward it'll just flip backwards...does anyone know if something inside came loose or something? it wasnt like this before.
 
I needed an excuse to take one apart.....


The only thing I can think of is that one of the bolts came out or the thick white c style retainers broke. It's a very simple design. You can probably raise the headrest, twist and mangle the plastic retaining slides (1 long slide in the center which could be a pain in car, 1 small on each side) on the underside and lift the foam/leather portion off in order to investigate. If you can't disassemble it that way it gets more complicated..

I loosened the 2 bolts slightly and it did exactly as you're describing. Tighten dem bolts!
 
those 2 bolts on each side you mean?

There's only 2 bolts on the entire assembly, 2nd to last pic shows them best. You won't need to torque them down to 100 ft lbs, just make them nice and snug. :)
