Paul of the neander, if you could do us newer Festyhalics a big favor & repost your pics/instructions on how to recline the rear seats. The pics are gone off your original post. Thank you in advance!!!!
From the trunk, unhook the seatback on both sides by pulling up on the knobs; push forward on the seat bottom with one hand while pulling the seatback to the rear, under the seatback's fastening hooks; lay the seatback in the trunk. Done. Takes 2 seconds. OK, maybe 3.

I know you can lay 'em flat, but I've never heard that you could make them recline. I imagine that you could if you relocated the seat lock pegs with a new mount. I'd only worry about comfort at that point, just because larger people would press against the plastic molding on the sides of the car where the seats used to meet the framework.

If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

Done that and then some! Didn't want to rip or damage the seat so I put it on top of the washing machine :p
