mr. eastside,

the only way you can get those seats to fold is if you have the 60/40 split. i have a 00 Malibu Base and it doesn't have split seats. if you do happen to have the 60/40 option, then there should be pulls on each side of the rear deck.

that would mean a lot of work for you or whoever you have do it, because you'd obviously have to rip out the old seats, put the new 60/40 in, drill holes for the pulls, and then link everything up. it's a real bitch to try to put split seats in a car that didn't come with them, but if you're up for the challenge, then by all means, go ahead and try:P
