How do you remove the rear seat?

I have a rattle in the rear deck lid by the speakers, that wont go away. I need to take some time and make sure everthing is tight. My main problem is removeing the rear seat. I have removed the bottom part before when I connected my amp to the cars battery. Does anyone have any pointers or diagrams?
Thanks
Mario

For the bench, just pull the to little fob (one on each side of the seat), and pull the seat up. Once it's up, you'll see couple screws, untight them. Remove the headrest by pulling them straight up, then you can take out the back rest as well.

The rattle might actually be one of the stock subwoofers in the rear deck. Do you hear the rattle with the radio off?

I'm in the process of replacing the rear deck tray to 99+ one with the long 3rd brake light as oppose to the cheap looking 3rd brake light for 96-98...
...I'm able to remove the back rest of bench for the rear seat....BTW mine has 3 screws 1 on each end and another 1 in the middle, just below the first aid kit.

My Question is, How do I remove the headrest...I remove the series of screws..and the headrest didn't come out....
Has anyone done this before....I know few peeps have replaced their rear deck tray to the newer look...PLEASE HELP

cheers!

E55 cent, did you fix your rattle? I'm having a problem with a rattle from the rear deck and I can't figure out where it is. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks.

I fixed the rattle a while a go. Most of the noise was coming from the rear sunshade, it was not going down all the way and was a little loose. I also removed all the foam from in the rear deck so I would get more bass into the cab of the car. Since I removed all the insulation, I replaced it with Dynamat to keep all the rattle down to a min. I dynamated the top of the metal deck and the underneath of the deck lid cover.
Now I have much more bass and zero rattles.
