Folding the Hatchback's Solid Rear Seat Down
I did a search on here, but with the hack earlier there are a lot of threads missing; so I thought I would start a new one.
I've got an 08 3-door Hatchback and was wondering if anyone figured out a way to fold the solid (i.e. non-60/40) rear seat down flatter? Mine juts up badly, and the fold-over shelf is pretty much useless. I see where the 60/40 split seats slide and lay pretty much flat; but am I SOL since I have the cheaper, solid rear seat? Cheers!

Here is a photo in the back of mine. I have the 60/40 split seat, but I assume the fold over flaps are the same. If you have the cargo mat, take it out and the flaps are underneath. You have to lift up pretty hard the first few times to get them out of the grooves.

With the solid seat I don't think the flaps would be of any use anyway. They would not lay flat because of the couple of inches the back of seat sticks up above floor level when laid down.
This was the whole reason I had to get the power package. Back had to be pretty level to put the dog crates in. Still don't get what power windows has to do with the folding seats, but whatever. |
