Can anyone help with info on how to fix a slipping headrest on a S2 1750? Im wondering if i need to rip the whole seat apart or if there is a quick fix..

Hi Lance,
If it's the same as the problem I had, here is what you need to do.
Remove the plate (2 screws) directly under the headrest, then 2 screws and the height adjuster (it will slide out).
The slide adjusted rod will have 2 or 3 (I forget) likely f*cked rubber friction rollers.  Try not to destroy the original items as you will need to reference them for the correct diameter replacements parts.  Visit Clark Rubber and try to find something you can use to manufacture replacement parts.
With luck, this should sort you out.
Warning.  It may end up being one of those seemingly easy jobs which becomes a right pain in the bum.  That's all part of the 105 fun.
Good luck.

Cheers,
Marco
