"Peyton300TD: it would be REALLY nice if these rear headrests tilted forward."

In the picture it looks like they can based on the slots in front of the metal posts on them. Since the ones i grabbed are from the front they lean forward nicely.

I agree with lrg, no center headrest does provide a better rearview.

Hey, thanks for your post!!! I am jealous! How much did you pay for your headrests? The upholstery covers are really easy to replace so i may just pick up some dumpy head rests and put my cushion and covers on. afterall all you really need is the metal insert.

i have however taken the spare front headrest that i've had for years and put it in the middle slot tilted forward. yay!

I think it was a 380SL, it had a V6. The car was only out there for about 3 weeks with the doors closed so the covers are in great shape with only 3 cracks on the hard rubber edgelinings.

I paid $2.50 each for the headrests. Yet, they had the gall to charge me $5.50 for a washer pump I got also, but only $.0.10 for three feet of vacuum tubes and rubber connectors.

Sorry, it was a 380SEL.

1995 E320 "Flagship" Wagon with 3rd seat and a total of 5 headrests--2 front, 3-rear. Have removed all of them, they appear identical but the owner's manual cautions about mixing them up?! ALL FIVE headrests tilt forward and back, all 5 go up and down (Front are power) Everything on my car is original, I am second owner with complete history and low miles.

Finaly got a good picture of the rear headrests from a W126.
