A folding seat assembly has a seat mounted for pivoting movement toward and away from a back-support section. The seat includes a first panel and a second panel mounted for pivoting movement with respect to the first panel so that the two-panel seat 'folds in half.' The seat support pedestal also folds in half and the back-support section pivots for stowage. The stowed, folded seat assembly is nominally one-half of the width of the same seat assembly unfolded for use. A new method for folding an auxiliary seat assembly for stowing includes folding the seat second panel toward the first panel to form a folded seat. The folded seat is then urged against the back-support section and for stowing, both the seat and support section are depressed against the vehicle component, e.g., a fender.
