if you pop of the plastic covers at the base of the backrest where it meets
the seatbottom, you can see a gold anodized allen head bolt.  remove this
bolt on each side, and your seats will recline fully.  i was thinking of
making a "quick release" pin that i could slip in there, and pull out when i
wanted to recline the seat..  of course, you would have to have something
supporting the seatback once you remove this bolt on either side..  i just
spin the seat (i have the swival base) around backwards and lay the seatback
on the dash.....
