how do I remove the rear seat?
1st the bottom has to come out. It is straight forward. Push the front of the bottom towards the trunk and lift. It is held on the right and the left side.
Once this is removed there are nuts to remove the top seat back. pull the headrests out of the car first, if you have them. The top part of the seat than can be lifted up and out of the car.

I tried it
I tried to push and lift but nothing happened...maybe I am not pushing in the right place? Will I hear something release when I push?

Open rear door at corner of seat base place your hand and slide it around to the center of seat slowly you will feel a small latch push to middle and pull up on seat. Do the same on other side and remove seat bottom then remove 2 10mm bolts at both side bottom of seat back remove. Install in reverse.

ok like a hidden lever?
so run my hand around the bottom edge and feel for a hidden lever, then pivot it towards the center? Will it pivot back towards the center or forwards towards the center. This will be a huuuuuge help.....to get the seat out. I can then run wires front to back and get my drivers seat back in.
