    I want to be able to sleep in my 2002 Grand Prix SE. I cant figure/dont think the back seats fold down. Does anyone know of other seats that I could install that would allow them to fold down?
    Thanks!

    The back seats do not fold down, they are held in by 2 large nuts (18mm if i remember correctly) and 2 little slotted thingys.

    If you can live without backseats, just take the top portion out via removing those 2 nuts and lifting up.

    And why are we wanting to sleep in said car??

    Regals had fold down seats starting in 00. Give them a look. Maybe it's close enough of the body structure to use them.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Yes, they should fit fine. I have a set of dark grey regal seats for sale if someone is interested in doing this. Much more comfortable than the GP seats as well.
