That's not normal. Take them out to investigate. There's a tab between the seats at the pivot point that releases the inside side of the seat back then fold the set down until the outside comes free. All you need is a flathead screwdriver.

My right rear seat has that clucking noise on certain bumps. So a flat head screwdriver is needed to unlatch the bottom on pivot point?

Looks like the bushings are broken or missing. Should be able to get a set for less than $5. Realoem lists them for $1.50 each I think.

Thanks, it was an easy 2 min fix, the bushings where there but they were loose.
