Left my keys in the trunk, the button to open the trunk doesn’t work. This was my last option to get to the trunk. And it turns out you have to open the trunk to open the back seats 😒 I need a new car, thanks for the video!
Thank God for this video. I couldn’t for the life of me understand the instructions in the pamphlet….the drawings were not clear to me. Your video saved the day!
So my issue is the battery is dead, battery is in trunk. Key is stuck in ignition. Can’t use key to open trunk. I need to get the seats down to get in to get to the battery
The seat pulls are in the trunk for a reason it’s in case you get like say kidnapped or something and stuck in the trunk and need to get threw the back seat back into the car the whole reason for the seat to lay down on these is as a safety issue
Just bought a 50inch tv and was looking real dumb tryna fit this in the car. Pulled up this vid real quick and I went from looking dumb to looking like I knew what I was doing but just forgot for a sec....MUCH APPRECIATED VID
We just bought a Cobalt from a family member (1st mistake), sight unseen. AFTER we paid for it, registered/titled it I went to pick it up. It was taken care of as far as mechanically but they failed to tell us that 3 bags of kitchen trash had been locked in the trunk for a year, another in the backseat for a few months. THE SMELL!! 😭 We tossed the trunk bottom liner, guess we'll have to toss the side lining too cause the smell is relentless. Definitely have a mouse somewhere & I couldn't get the backseats down to clean. It was sold super cheap so I guess we got what we paid for 🙃
I've been trying to find a video that will help me my Cobalt was involved in an accident the battery is no longer existing it can't get power I can't get the trunk open I need to lay the seats down how do I do that without opening the trunk......
For those asking how to pop your trunk when your battery is dead, only way I know how is jump it from the engine compartment, look on the fuse box and theres a long screw thing, give it 12v(power) from another battery(battery jumper will work too), or another car and then it will power it to allow you to pop open your trunk
Anyone know how to do this without opening the trunk? My MIL gave me one that doesn't have the option to open the trunk via key and the battery is dead so the button doesn't work. I hate her.
Is there a way to get into the trunk a different way? I bought the car off my auntie and she didn’t bolt the battery. So my key (the only one I have btw) is locked in the ignition and I get reach the trunk
I dropped my keys in the trunk and locked myself out.... Thanks for telling me that I am screwed. Oh never mind.. found the trunk button. Thanks for the video.
If you have your key in the switch and your car is dead and can’t get in the trunk what can you do any helpfully comment with going to the chevey dealer to have a key made
But there is a jump post INSIDE the engine bay. Theres a little red cap/ long lead bolt sticking out of the fuse compartment, thats your positive, and you just hook up negative to the strut bolts or another sort of bear metal for ground, be logical of course on where you put the ground
@@bidenisanidiot8029 actually, battery completely dead which is in the trunk btw. If you put the key in the ignition to try to start it, the ignition switch locks and won't release the key. Trunk button won't work either. Dummy positive post and ground in the engine compartment won't charge or start from a jump. Really a screwed design that you then cant get access unless you have a 2nd key. Bad, bad, car design. Not the driver's fault.
Hey Angeleah, that makes it a little tough as those are only accessible through the trunk. Is the trunk damaged where you are unable to get into it? Maybe, you could stick a stiff object between the 2 seat divides to hit the release? Just brainstorming, but I am not sure... sorry
That design makes sense. If you're putting something in that needs the seat folded down, you're almost always putting it in from the trunk. Great video. Thanks!
Had done this many times & years ago, but forgot, Duh 🙃😀 thanks & God bless 👏👍
Worked perfectly thanks
THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤
BRO!! THANK YOU!!
Thank You Thank You....THANK YOU
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Chevy Cobalt 2013
this car is no end of torments and surprises
So my issue is the battery is dead, battery is in trunk. Key is stuck in ignition. Can’t use key to open trunk. I need to get the seats down to get in to get to the battery
Bro, I never would've found this
The design is absolutely dump
It really is
I need to get my seats down to access the trunk because the battery died…and the battery is in the trunk. Ugh.
@@neoleon130what was the fix
@@HereForThe got a jump from the front, because that’s possible
The seat pulls are in the trunk for a reason it’s in case you get like say kidnapped or something and stuck in the trunk and need to get threw the back seat back into the car the whole reason for the seat to lay down on these is as a safety issue
I love you ….. so stumped on how to do this and just bought a bike I have to stuff in the trunk today. Thanks is not enough!
You’re a lifesaver now I can go skiing with the boys
Have fun on the slopes!
Thank you so much I have a 2007 Chevy Cobalt lt. Obviously my dumbass has the manual but didn't read it.
TH-cam is a lot more fun to watch than read a manual :) Thanks for watching!

😆
So it’s 2020! AND DUDE YOURE FUCKING AWESOMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!You helped me prove my girl wrong!! She sweared my car couldn’t do that!😭🤣
Still helpful video. Thanks bud
I’ve owned my car for 4 years and had no idea what those two levers did.
This vid just saved us from actually ripping out the back seat trying to figure it out 😅😂
Thnx!
Thank you! Lol, I was feeling a little self-conscious messing around with my backseat in front of the whole neighborhood.
I've been trying to find a video that will help me my Cobalt was involved in an accident the battery is no longer existing it can't get power I can't get the trunk open I need to lay the seats down how do I do that without opening the trunk......
I locked my keys in my trunk so I’m going to have to crawl through the back seats through a slit 😂😂
Dude holy thank you
You’re welcome!!!

very helpful bro thank you
Holy shit this worked thanks haha
@@yourboiben398so put the positive jumper cable on the screw by the fuse box? And ground the negative?
Can't you just use your key?
@@giomarg.m.1641 Not if it's stuck in the ignition and won't release
Answer @ 1:20
Very helpful. Thank you
Thank you!
Thanks man.!
Thank you for your video. I looked at the backseat and said “maybe they don’t fold down.” You saved me a lot of heartache.
I was hoping I could get my snow brush out from the inside, looks like I'm going to have fun getting that ice off of trunk 😂
theres a button in the secret compartment on the passenger side
Omg thanks so much
Thank you! We could not figure this out! So dumb...
Saved me so much time and anguish. Thank you so much
Thanks so much.
Hell yeah sude
Thank you!!! I almost broke the seats trying to figure them out!
Well what do i do if I accidentally locked the key in the trunk lol
Thank u
You’re welcome!!
Ver pleased with this video. Nice and quick to the point. Very helpful
thank you so much i was wandering how to put seats down 6 months ago single woman thank you so much big help
What if you can’t get in the trunk? I can’t get in the trunk because the battery died, which is in the trunk..
Well, I'm sol because my lock or release is broken. I can't get into the trunk.
Once you pull the buttons just reach inside the trunk and just push the seats slightly forward. Thanks for the great video
Very useful!
Thank you so much. Ive had my car for 3 years and had no idea how.
You are very welcome! :) Thanks for watching!
Saved my life, thanks man
Yall couldnt figure this out? 🤣🤣
Anyone know how to do this without opening the trunk? My MIL gave me one that doesn't have the option to open the trunk via key and the battery is dead so the button doesn't work. I hate her.

Thank you so much! This allowed us to pick up our new tv in style for the AJ Green memorial!
Thank you so damn much.
that worked perfectly. thank you so much
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Same deal for the Pontiac g5
Ok that’s stupid: my trunk is stuck shut and I can’t open it at all.
I had no idea my back seats could do this! Thank u for this video 👏🏻😀
I dropped my keys in the trunk and locked myself out.... Thanks for telling me that I am screwed.
Oh never mind.. found the trunk button. Thanks for the video.
Thanks man, very helpful 👍
Thank you so much, my guy 🙏🏻
If you have your key in the switch and your car is dead and can’t get in the trunk what can you do any helpfully comment with going to the chevey dealer to have a key made
Pop your hood up open, jump it with another battery or another car with a battery and it will power it up so you can pop your trunk
@@josejr4482 the battery is IN the trunk so this wouldn't work either that's why the design is garbage
But there is a jump post INSIDE the engine bay. Theres a little red cap/ long lead bolt sticking out of the fuse compartment, thats your positive, and you just hook up negative to the strut bolts or another sort of bear metal for ground, be logical of course on where you put the ground
@@josejr4482That's incredible info, I'll never forgive Chevy for thinking any of this was a great idea
Can u do it without the truck being open
No in the Cobalt :(
Thank you ! I thought I was screwed 🙌
You're welcome!
You can move them to the inside right below the back seat, did it years ago on mine
You are awesome man, thank you!
Thank you. I have a sport edition
What if the trunk is closed with no battery in it and no key to open it
Cassandra Akin Then you shouldn’t have a car
@@bidenisanidiot8029 actually, battery completely dead which is in the trunk btw. If you put the key in the ignition to try to start it, the ignition switch locks and won't release the key.

Really a screwed design that you then cant get access unless you have a 2nd key. Bad, bad, car design. Not the driver's fault.
Put jumper cables on the positive post and the negative to the ground and you will have enough electricity to pop the trunk
Even with no battery
Thank you so much man. This would have taken me at minimum a day to figure out i guess...
Thank you for showing me this I almost broke my car trying to pry the seat down
Me right now 😂
These cars are designed so damb stupidly
Thank you! This was extremely important and helpful
Life saver, thanks!!
I pushed my seat back up and it won’t click back in
Is there something in way of the latch?
Thank you for sharing ,the latch for my 2010 is esay to pull
Holy cow I would have never thought of that! Thank you!
But how the hell do I get into my trunk through the back seat now? My trunk lock is frozen and battery is dead. Thanks chevy.
What if you don't have trunk access

It was comical how loud the music was drowning out your voice
Worse seat design ive ever fucking seen.
The design sucks. GM did a terrible job designing that.
Why is half the video just talking
That design makes sense. If you're putting something in that needs the seat folded down, you're almost always putting it in from the trunk. Great video. Thanks!
So glad to rid myself of this piece of shit car.
This doesn’t help I’m locked out of my trunk
What did u do I’m in the same boat
