Rear Headrest - E39

[affan66]

Folks, Need some assistance here. One of my side rear seat's headrest does not seem to want to hold in position. I took out both sides and swapped and see that the problem lies with only one side of the seat, so the problem is not the headrest. I have a feeling that one of these locks labeled no. 2(see illustration, source: realoem.net) is missing. If it is so, can I find it at kedai potong or at spare parts shop and how easy is it to install? Why is this important, you may ask? Well, the headrest judders on bumpy roads and with the quiet interior of the E39 and a pretty picky E39 driver here, those are damn annoying Thanks in advance.

headrest grommet

Kedai potong would be difficult. They might not sell you just the grommet. Who will buy a seat without the grommet ? But you never know ... maybe if the seat is damaged ... than they might ... better option would be those kedai specialist in seats ... there are a few around Bukit Kemuning area.
But the best would be from shops like BOMIN or Bavarian Auto... make sure you got the right part numbers and lots of cash
