I'm a regular at auto repair shops and often help friends with such issues. The method for folding down the rear seats of the Hyundai Elantra is quite straightforward: open the trunk and look near the C-pillar side of the seat back—there's usually a small pull loop or button. Give it a firm tug to release the latch, then press the top of the backrest with both hands and gently push forward to fold it down. Some split-ratio models may allow one side to fold while the other remains fixed, so test the sequence carefully to avoid damaging the seat frame. Once folded, the expanded space can accommodate large boxes or golf bags, but don't exceed the weight limit to prevent bracket deformation. Regularly lubricating the latch points extends their lifespan. If stuck, reset and try again—never force it to avoid part damage.
