Abstract

A motor vehicle has a rear seat that comprises a bench seat and a seat back that is split. Each seat back part is pivotally mounted so that it folds down onto the bench seat to extend the load floor. Each seat back part is pivotally supported by a fixed pivot at the vehicle body or outboard side and a spring biased pivot at the inboard or center side that retracts to facilitate installation.
