Aniki-
If it's the same as my '94, there is a small loop of webbing (seat belt material) that sticks up between the seat bottom and back rest sections of the seat, where the seatbelts come out. There is one loop on each side and they can very easily be hidden in the crack (the seat crack, not the passenger's crack... hopefully). You should stick your finger down there and fish around. The loop is about 4 inches long and is located a few inches from the short end of the seatbelts toward the door. Does that make sense?
When you pull the loop, the seat bottom is released and you can tilt it forward. Then you pull up on the knob right on the edge of the seat top, next to the head rest. This allows you to fold the seat back down flat.
When you return the seat to its normal position, hold onto that loop to make sure it's sticking out, then you won't have to fish for it again next time.
Hope this helps.
By the way...
If "real friends stab you in the front" means what I think it does, that is f***ing hilarious! Makes me wish I was a girl just so I could use the phrase properly.
