Hey Peaches,

I want to take the headrests off my 250C so I can get some of the leather repaired on the sides. The problem I am having is the headrest posts do not want to come out of the seat. Is there a trick to this?

Thanks,

Curt

Curt,

If I recall, the panel behind the seat comes off and allows access to the headrest posts and the piece they slide into. I am going to have to do the same on my 1973 280C.

Please take pictures and share your experience with us. I wish I was in Traverse City so we could see it in person!

Hey Peaches,

I finally got around to taking the headrests off my '72 250C. Here is a step by step tutorial with pictures on how I went about doing so.

Enjoy,

P.S.

Thanks for the help Jeff, I especially enjoyed taking photos as I went along. I think I'm going to take photos on all my future projects as well, great idea!
