Are There folding back seats on convertible model? 2019 Mustang*

Hi all,

Newbie here.
I have a 2019 GT Premium Convertible. The Owner's Manual was not helpful, and answers after a lengthy search of the Internet proved vague.

Just to confirm - the back seats in my vehicle do NOT fold down. Is that correct?
Inside the vehicle I cannot figure out how to release them. It seems there is no release, but they also seem like the want to come down (they aren't rigidly fixed).

Please advise.

Thanks!
David

The back seat seat backs are fixed in place. I reckon it has to do with a need for structural strength in that area, supplied by the roof in a coupe.

Not sure about the S550, but in the S197 the rear seat pops right out, so I can’t imagine the seat providing much structural support. I always assumed the rear seats were fixed for convertible top stowage reasons.
