SOURCE: Rear seat won't fold down (60 part of 60/40 seat)

I had the same problem on my '03. The seats would not fold down using the latch release as I had always done. So I tried a combination of pulling up on the side latch AND the top latch and the seat folded down. It really doesn't FIX the problem but circumvents offending  defective part. I will use this method until it doesn't work then I might shell out the $$$$$ to the dealer.

SOURCE: how to fold down back seat

There should be a loop between the seat and backrest, pull that and the seat will pull toward the front seats. After that, pull the lever located at the outside of the backrest. This lever is on the outside of the seat by the door-side of the seat. Pull that up and allow the backrest will fold down and the headrest will pivot back and your seat is folded down.

SOURCE: How do I fold by back seat down?

If you will open your trunk, you will see a round handle lever you pull on to release the seat. There should be one on each side. They are located near the top of your trunk.

SOURCE: 2003 Toyota Corolla LE back seat fold down? how?!

Open the back trunk, look near the top of the trunk, and pull the two black levers. They have a seat folding down symbol. That will release the locks to fold the back seat down.

SOURCE: trunk wont open and the back seat wont fold down on our kia optim

By switching the lever you locked the inside trunk release, you will need to put lever back. as far as the trunk you may need to remove the rear seat, pop lower part out and then remove the bolts to the top half of the seat then try to reach the lever so it will open from the inside. i've found that many of these cars with the pop lever inside have sticking trunk locks from not being used, what you do first is spary lock good,with wd40 or pb blaster then slide key in and out and try to turn this may take a whhile but it works then tumbler will free up, you just have to keep spraying inside lock and working the key.

2006 ford explorer headrest latch needs repairing

In order to repair this you must have the seat back cover removed, since you really don't know what is broken inside and it is a safety issue I would have the dealer repair this.

2006 Jeep Comander.....second row headrest

I have a dealer with some traditional values.Rang up to ask about booking in - could always cancel if fixed - and he said "lift the fabric at the base of the seat where it meets the backrest. In there there is a cable like a bicycle brake cable. Give it a prod, fold down the back rest and then fold up again. This cable makes the headrest move and sometimes it gets stuck". Well, tried it just now - headrest fixed. Total time to implement fix ~1 minute. Great Dealer! Could have ripped me of for loads of money and I would have never known.

The headrest in one of the third row seats (XC90)will not fold down and the seat will never lay flat because of it. Can I fix this?

Its pretty tough...the headrest comes as a cassette type and a release cable that runs down the back rest of the 3rd row seat.
