2nd seat headrests an option
My '85 300TD (wagon) has two 2nd seat headrests.
Recently I saw a picture of a w123 300TD (wagon) without headrests or even the holes they would slide into. Were headrests an option or just on specific years?

I'd like to know that too. My car has the headrest mounts but no headrests. I always assumed that they were lost over the past 20 years.

I too have the holes, but no headrests. Too make matters worse, this never even bothered me until I read this post and walked outside and checked!
But one of the reasons I like the TD's is you can lay down the back seats and headrests would just get in the way...which is I bet what happened to them in first place. They were a pain to remove the first time and just never made it back in the car.

But the headrests are super easy to remove. They were probably just lost after being removed. They are not a pain at all.

IF the wagon had the third seat installed, the second seats had 3 headrests installed for whiplash protection. I am not sure if the 2 headrest setup was an option in the wagon. I do know that the 2 rear headrests in the sedan were an option.

Headrests in Wagon
I hate the fact that my wagon doesn't have headrests. When I run my finger across the top of the rear seat I can feel where the indentation is for the headrest posts. Does anyone know if I can just get some headrests, cut the vinyl and pop them in or is there some kind of kit you have to have as mentioned above?
