SOURCE: removing a discovery 1 head rest the handle type

The headrest is hold by the two bars of the middle. The bars are engaged in two plastic guides fitted in the seat frame. The bars are locked by two little springs located in theses guides. They are very difficult to remove under the seat foam. The solution I used is a hammer (quite heavy) with a T bar from a sockets set . The diameter was exactly the same as the inner diameter of the plastic guide . Then I inserted this bar at the bottom end of the plastic guides and I hit the bottom of the mettalic bars with these tools and I managed. After the inspection, the springs were bended and I had to give the former shape they had before the removal.
Good luck ( sorry for my poor english but I'm french!)

I removed the back seat seat cushion for cleaning and broke the two plastic latches that snaps the seat cushion down in the front. How can I replace those plastic latches on my 2005 Chevy Malibu?

most likely a local upholstery shop will be able to repair, but if you are handy several (black uv resistant) tie raps (cable ties) will do the trick too. Be creative the ties are very strong

How to fold the rear seats in malibu 2011?

You should notice a looped strap of cloth next to the head rest at the top of the seat. That is the release for the seatback lock. Simultaneously pull up on the strap and pull the head rest forward to fold the seat forward. The seats are split 60/40, so each seat has its own release looped strap.

Remove 2012 headrest malibu

I have a 2012 malibu and looked this same thing up because I just put on a seat cover, on the driver's side head rest, looking at it from the back seat on the driver's side, there's the normal looking latch that let's you adjust the headrest down, but on the right side you'll see a little indentation in the plastic that you can also push down and if you press both at the same time, you can remove the headrest.
