I went to put the rear seat down today and realized... it aint a coupe . How, if possible, do you lay the rear seat down? It feels like there should be a latch somewhere but i cant find it.

Rear seat hangs on two hooks near the top of the seatback.

Lift straight up from the bottom of the seatback and it'll lift out.

The rear seat won't "lay" down, as it's not hinged. Plus there's a bulkhead and bracing behind it, so no real need to remove it...

Before i read that i did some looking and saw the hooks you speak of but could not for the life of me lift the seat enough to clear them. WTF! How do i get it to lift up?

There are two bolts securing the bottom of the rear seat. Reach down just to the outside of the seatbelt strap and feel around, you will find a bolt.

Get a 10mm socket and undo the screw. Be careful to hold the screw if possible so that it won't fall down after you loosen it.

Once the bolts are out you can lift up the back seat.
