Can you please elaborate? I have a '91 and the headrests are fine - they
even work with the buttons in the doors - should I expect a problem with to
arise?

I'm wanting to install seatcovers on my 300D, but I can't figure out how

That was how I did it on my W123 300D, but this one, I can't figure it
out.
I unscrewed the seat back panel (2 screws), but couldn't pry off the back
-
the MB-Tex would just pull along with it.
If it's like an '87, the Tex on the side panels wraps around the back and
is
held under tension in a little "gutter" at the edge of the panel. To get
it
loose you have to put something like a kitchen knife or broad-bladed
screwdriver into the channel at the lower side and pry out the edge. Push
in on the back panel (towards the front of the car) while prying to
relieve
the tension on the side panel. Once you get it started it will "unzip"
all
the way up easily. It's easier to do the outer sides first. (Although I
don't think I've ever had the back panels all the way off now that I think
about it. I had to get in there to fix the usual broken 124 headrest
issue,
but I had plenty of room to work just undoing the outer edge of each back
panel and swinging it out of the way.)
