The button is attached to a steel plate that slides in the headrest. The steel plate has two notches, and the axis the headrest rotates on has two discs with teeth in them that latch onto the plate for the three positions of the headrest. When the button is depressed the plate slides over so the notches line up with the discs and the discs rotate through the plate as the headrest folds down. That gray spring lever comes down and locks into the plate to make it slide so the button returns to the undepressed position. The spring popped out of mine...
It kept popping out though, so I figured out that the plate had enough momentum with the spring force to keep sliding but the spring stopped so as the elongated hole passed the spring, the spring popped out. Moral of the story, it's a sh*tty design. I wedged a piece of eraser in there to act as a bumper so the plate couldn't slide past the spring. Problem solved. For now.
