S80 2000 headrest will not stay in place..

Post by Julian »

Hi everyone here on the lovely volvo forum!

First of all, I'm new here, so if I do any thing against the rules please tell me.
Just 3 hours ago I bought my first volvo after my Alfa 156 2.0 had been total damaged just some weeks ago.

The s80 from 2000 - WHAT A LOVELY CAR! I really do not know how I should ever express the comfort and luxery that is found in this car! It is not a car, it is a piece of art.

But but but, as with my old beloved Alfa there is just some small issues that i must fix emidedtly.

The biggest and most serius one is that the passanger-side rear headrest will not stay up, it seems like it dosn't lock probely into place. Do anyone in here know what could be wrong or how to fix this issue? The other on in the back, just at the drivers side of the car, is just fine. No problem what so ever clicking back in place.

With a lot of Volvo joy,
Alfa Julian... has now become Volvo Julian... :D

Have you had a good look at the 'catch' mechanism to see if possibly some foreign object such as a piece of paper or other item has gotten in to it? Might be just need to clean out any debris which is preventing the headrest from properly seating in the 'catch'...
