Post W123 Wagon Headrests

My gray market 1985 300TD came sans rear head rests so I got some nice ones from sedans, cleaned and installed them .

A member here who knows I try to sweat the details reminded me the wagon rear head rests look the same but on fact are slightly different in that they don't pivot .

Sigh .

Recently my local LKQ put out a really filthy 300TD and the head rests were nearly black with grimy hands prints, I bought them anyways, cleaned them up and swapped out the sedan ones, they look great now (thanx to Meguiar's # 41 cleaner and a lot of elbow grease with soft brushes and clean rags) they're Palomino color and the piping matches the fronts too .

Onwards, ever onwards .

Too bad I can't post the photos of them filthy and clean .
