On that model the only way to access the trunk when the latch has broken or has malfunctioned is by removing the entire rear seat assembly.
You need to pull the bottom section(the part you sit on) of the rear seat up and take it out of the car. Under the back section of the seat you will find a pair of bolts that hold the upright section of the seat to the car body. Remove the bolts and lift the seat back section up and remove it. Remove the protective layer and you can crawl into the trunk. You can then access the trunk latch from inside the trunk.

The vehicle should of course have been engineered with at least a narrow center fold down section of the seat from where you can access a manual trunk release . No doubt as a silly cost saving measure it was not designed this way.

Can back seat of Chevy Impala fold down for trunk access in 2007 Impala?

The back seat of the Impala can only be folded down if your vehicle is the particular fold-down version, otherwise, it'll have to be removed entirely to gain access to the massive available space.
To remove the seat, follow these steps:
• Push down on the bottom cushion of the back seat.
• Pull-on the T handles which are under the front edge of the seat, to release the bottom cushion
• Remove the cushion
• Unwind the nuts and bolts on the bottom part of the back seat. Then lift it, and it would be released from its position.
• Now, remove the seat from the back and you can access the trunk.

Trunk volvo S80 2007 won't open

It's weird. I have a S60 ; the key hole is vertical (look up when looking from the bumper up to the truck) above the license plate. It's sort of hidden so you cannot see it if you are looking at the truck from the front. The truck can also be opened with your key fob.

How do you fold down the rear seat in a 2007 impala?

First make sure you even have the rear seat fold down option. Many, if not all, LS Impalas don't have the option. Easiest way to check is to open the trunk and look for the latching hardware at the back of the back seats.

How to fold down rear seat in 2007 impala to replace rear speakers? there are no latches to pull.

Look in your manual to see if the seat does come down, and how to do this. If not remove the bottom half of the seat by pressing the seat torward the trunk and lifting. Then you will be able to access the bolts to remove the back rest portion of the seat. However some times you can replace the speakers through the trunk.
