Backseat Question

HandoEX · Dec 2, 2005

I've had my car for about 2.5 years now but have never got around to figuring this out...
Can you fold the entire back seat down in 6th gens? There is a spot for a key on my rear deck but the only key I got for my car (the ignition key that opens the doors and trunk) doesn't open it.

Do you have two keys or is my lock not working to fold this down? Just curious.

I think it may be the lock. Try squirting some WD-40 into it to maybe free up the locking mechanism.

^^Yea-the entire back of the seat should fold down once you figure it out.

My ignition key does not work. I have a second set of keys that Honda gave me. They called these Valet keys which turns that deck lock. I don't bother with it. If I need to, I just pop the trunk and pull the plastic T shaped handle to drop the rear seats.

I'm at work right now so I can't go look until it's dard...but where is this T shaped handle you speak of?

Also, make sure the key you're using is the master key and not the valet key. The entire seat will fold down on the Sedans while the Coupe has a 60/40 split

the ignition key DOES turn the lock on the rear deck... but honda didn't do a great job making that lock and as a result, you have to turn pretty hard. mine has gotten noticeably more difficult since i got my car

if you fold down the rear armrest, and open into the trunk, the t handle thing should be within reach, that usually how i go about pulling mine down. i think its like an orange color or something. if you cant figure it out, then ill take a pic tomorrow of it, lemme know.
