The sittin' part of the seat flips up like a movie-theatre seat, allowing not only the opportunity to clean underneath easily, but afford clear-to-the-floor room for packages that need more headroom.
Sliding/mounting rails would be shorter since they'd only have to accomodate the back sliders. Reinforcement
might be necessary to overcome the torquing force, but that could be mounted underneath the cab.
So like this?

Baked. Old Fiat 500's back seat did that |

There are lots of vehicles with backseats that do this. It's hard to
do it on a front seat because of the slider. My car has power
front seats which move up, down, front, and back at the push of
a button. I'm pretty sure the mechanics of this are going to
make a flip option very difficult to design safely. |

[post edited] I meant front seats which usually are the most roomy and therefore can make the most room by folding up. I'm familiar with jumpseats, this ain't that. |

[21Quest] I'm sure that the power-seat motors don't need to be mounted anywhere but at the swivel, and having the controls lock when the seat is raised overcomes any accidental movement. |

Ah. Well, okey dokey then. [+] |

what is, jumpseats ? or front driver/passenger seats where the seat flips up ? (and if the latter I'm guessing on the discontinued Defender model) |
