CLK Cabrio hearests / rollbar stuck, top inoperable, C209?

Hi
I have a bud whose 2008 CLK550 (C209, right?) has the rear headrests stuck in the deployed position. The top is down and the windows are about a third up FWIW. After searching I have found - DUH - a link on the MB site to the owners' manual (duh again) which seems to answer my question, but he hit something hard enough to flatten a tire and deploy the roll bars, so is there something else that needs to be done or will the windows and top work again after I magically carry out the procedure below?

Please have pity on my poor ignorant friend. He is just a dentist and cannot comprehend the big words in the owners manual!
TIA,
Tom
PS I also found an old thread with a PDF procedure from mbdoc, link is here, but it's pretty much all in the attachment.
