Question moved from Spanish company Seat (pronounced See-At) to Malibu category.
The passenger seat airbag only fires in a crash if there is someone sitting on the passenger seat. There is a sensor in the seat cushion that register a person sitting there. Under the seat there will be a connector, take it apart and spray it with electrical contact cleaner.
charge battery and try release ----or with the key access push down on the trunk when turning key ----remove rear seats yours dont fold but can be removed
The bottom portion of the rear seat can be removed in two ways, try each and see what works for you:
1. Push back the seat from the front edge and also raise it at the same time - it will unhook and you can pull it out.
2. Look under the seat and see if there are any bolts and, if available, unwind them.
Here is a video of the removal of the front seats of a Chevy Malibu that is in the same series as your 2005 (this video is applicable for 2004 - 2012 model Chevy Malibu)

Usually configuration on any seat. Slide seat all the way back and take out 2 front bolts. Sometimes the bolts are covered with a plastic cover that needs to be removed. Slide seat all the way forward the remove the 2 back bolts. Then I usually tilt the seat backwards and unhook any wires underneath. Carefully lift seat out of the vehicle being careful not to scratch the car.
Hello,
This is a common problem with the 2008 malibu,the problem you are facing is as a result of the fact that the water actually goes out of the vehicle through the drain pipe, and then comes back in from the outside of the pipe,which is due to the turbulence of the air under the hood which actually pushes the water back along the outside of the tube, through the seal and back into the passenger side.
The solution is to apply a seam sealer to surround the outer part of the drain pipe.
They are bolted down at four corners. Slide seat all the way back to locate them. Be careful if you see a computer box because you do not want to actuate the air-bags.
