The front seats came out no problem but I'm confused on how to remove the rear seat as there's no nut underneath the car.

So do I need to climb into the trunk and find the bolts as I see nuts welded in underneath the undercarriage.

Okay I found the latch and was able to get the passenger side undone for the bottom part of the rear seat. The driver side is going to be a problem as there's not much wiggle room in between the lower seat bench and the rear seat for your back.

Speaking of back I just hurt my back pushing so hard on the lower bench seat trying to undo it.

I guess this try to help me figure out do I need to take the panels out or what order should do????

Thanks

Growing older is mandatory...growing up is optional.

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

For the bottom hook I've found sitting on it can make it easier to get unhooked .
Apply weight grab the front bottom push back with legs then pull up &  forward as you releave your weight

you have to remove the bottom back seat first. It is two hooks  and you push the bottom towards the trunk and lift it should come out. If you look under the seat you will see them. After the bottom is removed you can remove the top that has two screws holding at both ends at the bottom you should be able to see them. Once the screws are out you need to lift the seat back up and off of a hook

The hooks marked "D" in this picture are what hold the rear seat bottom in place.  Push down and towards the rear of the car to unhook them.

The pieces marked "C" are what hold the rear seat "back" in place.  Remove the rear seat "bottom" in order to access the bolts that hold the rear seat "back".  Once the bolts are out, the rear seat "back" will lift UP and off.

Sometimes getting that bottom to unhook can be a REAL pain.  Remember to push back first - then up.  I usually use my legs/feet to do it.
Contrary to the opinions of some, I am not dumber than I look.

I ended up getting the seats out but now I'm trying to add a third seat belt and I don't even know if it's possible.  Does anyone else know.

Thanks for your help. The back rest part of the seat wasn't even really attached so I just popped​ that up and then the bench part came out easy.

Update.  I was able to get the third seat belt in the back.

Even though my bench seats been restored it looks like it's crooked.... in order to get it straight I can't latch it on the passenger side.  Sigh

So I bent the bracket and everything lined up great...it was just out of alignment and that's the story that we'll never know why.

Thanks
