Headrest Won't Hold Position

just put some duct tape around the post on it... aside from tearing the whole thing apart, i am sure there is just something loose internally but some tape around it will stop it from sliding down

Thanks - I'd rather repair it than tape it. I'll have to check out the inside of the seat when I get time. I was hoping there was a simple external fix.

Does the '95 have the notches built into the two rods that come out of the seat?? Or is it the gay style like my Lumina that is all smooth?? I don't use the headrests in my Lumina because, 1 - they don't come up far enough to be efficive anyway, and 2 - when I pull them up they fall back down to bottom lol....christ Lumina seats suck

My head rests fall down fairly easy too, but my car came with some plastic tubing (that black ribbed stuff you normally see in the engine bay) around each post. Dunno if that came in the car originally or not, but it doesn't look half bad...

I'll try to get a pic later, I'm at school right now

The head rest supports rods on my 95 cutlass are smooth. It's probably not worth the effort it would take to fix, but I'll look into it anyway at some point just to learn what exactly is involved in fixing the problem.

Maybe try coating the rods with hairspray, then raise and lower the headrest a few times. I know it sounds nuts, but I've done this to stop old shitty house windows from falling down from the "up" position.
