Seats won't fold into bed.

In the owner's manual it looks like the front seat backs are flush with the rear seat bottom cushions. I can't get them that way, I always end up with one being higher than the other, it's as if the front seats should slide forward another inch, so that the front seat backs have enough room to drop down in front of the rear seat bottom cushions. What's wrong?

Might help if you recline the rear seatbacks back the extra couple of inches that they will go. That moves the buttock part of the rear seat back about 1/2 an inch.

Just lift the lever that you use to release the seatbacks so that you can move them forward to make a flat cargo space, but instead of moving them forward, move the seatbacks rearwards - about 2 or 3 inches is all they will go - but as they move back they will take the buttock support part of the seat back along with them - though only about 1/2 and inch. But that's enough to make putting the back of the front seat so that they flush with them, a little easier.
