Rear Seat Removal
I see this question asked a million times. There are videos out there, but some like pictures and a simple explanation.
Start with the rear seat:
You'll first be removing the rear bottom. There are two buttons/tabs under the front portion of the seat. You'll need to release these tabs on each side in order to slide the seat out. Place your hand under the front of the rear bottom cushion till you find a small channel. Slide your hand rearwards till you contact the tab. Push hard till you feel the clips release. You may need to wiggle the lower cushion with your other hand. Now move to the other side and do that one.
Once both tabs are released, pull up and out. The lower cushion will come right out.
Now we are left with the seat backs.
There are three brackets total. The two outboard brackets have one nut each. There is a middle bracket that acts as the seat pivot points. We only need to remove the outer brackets. Remove the two outboard bracket nuts.
Once they are off, you'll want to pull your back seat recline handle to free it from the upper latch. Pull upwards on the seat back till the bracket is free of the stud. Then start to pull the whole seat back towards you and slide it outwards until it's off the stud pictured below.
Once you get it at the right angle, it will slide right off. If you find it being a bear, be patient because it's very easy to scuff the quarter trim up with the outboard bracket.
Boom. Your back seat is out.
