ABSTRACT:
A close-out panel for a stowable vehicle seat assembly having pivotable connections to a vehicle floor, the close-out panel having: a first edged attached to the stowable vehicle seat assembly, a second edge, parallel to the first edge, and a living hinge positioned between and parallel to the first edge and the second edge. The living hinge enables the close-out panel to fold when the stowable vehicle seat is deployed and to open into a flat panel flush with the vehicle's floor that conceals the pivotable connections when the vehicle seat is pivoted to a stowed position.
