A rear seat assembly for a vehicle can be moved between a seating configuration and a load floor configuration without requiring the operation of release pins or knobs. The seat assembly includes a mount assembly bolted to the floor of the vehicle and a seat back pivotably engaged with the mount assembly. The seat back is formed with a lower finger. A seat cushion is movably coupled to the mount assembly, and an interlock pin is immovably formed, as by welding, to the seat cushion. The seat cushion can be pushed backwardly to a seating configuration, in which the seat cushion is juxtaposed with the seat back and the interlock pin abuts the engagement surface to hold the seat back upright. Also, the seat cushion can be rotated forwardly to distance the interlock pin from the seat back and thereby permit the seat back to be pushed downwardly into a horizontal load floor configuration.
