Default XKR Drivers Side Head Rest

The drivers side head rest appears to be stuck. I can hear the motor but the head rest does not move. Anyone know if there is a reset or have any advice? Thanks

There's a Jaguar mod to correct the cable length inside the sleeve to restore proper function. Not sure if there's a sticky for that or not.

Multiple stickies plus, best of all, Sam's video. Most important is that if you do it yourself (pretty easy) get the best heavy duty shrink tube that you can with adhesive inside so that the splice does not slip apart over time.

I can't emphasize this enough: LISTEN TO WHAT SEISMIC SAID!

My driver's side headrest needs fixed AGAIN. This will be the third or fourth time. I finally have some good, thick, sticky shrink wrap to use. I'm going to do it one last time and make another video (HD this time. The last one was hard to see). I bought my shrink wrap on eBay. Don't use the crappy Lowes/Home Depot stuff. It won't hold up. Trust me on this.
