Default 08 Screw Back Seat Issues

I am trying to put a seat cover on the back(bench) seat of 2008 Supercrew. The bottom of the seat flip up, but is there anyway to get the back to fold down? It is going to be virtually impossible to put these covers on without doing this.

Has anyone ever done this or know a better way to install some cheap Mossy Oak covers from Wal-Mart?

The seat back portion of the back seat does not fold down, but you can remove it. That's exactly what I had to do to properly install my wet okole seat covers. Here's a link to an article that I used that helped me.

It's not too bad to do, remove the tower cap then climb into the center of the truck. Slide your hands to the inside of the inside child seat clips with your thumbs pointed out. Feal for the plastic tabs, push in and pull up with your wrists. There will be a small slot in the foam were it clips in. If you don't do both tabs at the same time you will lock the one side in everytime you try to do the other. When you reinstall, do it from the center, put both head rest up and grab onto the rods then move it down even. Then pull hard down on both sides, most common problem is a back top clip getting in frount of the slot or the bottem clip getting bent down instead of being behind the tube.

Also you can't unbolt the back seat without removing the "Lazy back" first, there are two seat nuts and two cab mounts that go through the seat. These are then covered by the back rest.
