Default Whats the best way to remove the back seat?

Whats the best way to remove the back seat.
I purchased an aftermarket Back up Sensor, and I need to remove the back seat to run all the cabling.
Thanks,
Tim

to remove the rear seat, pull out the lower seat cushion.
it's just press clipped in.

grab each end... about 1/4 of the way from the very end...
and pull up. you'll have to get your fingers between the cushion
and the carpet.

once the bottom is unclipped, you can just go ahead and remove
the lower cushion.

the back cushion is held up wiht a total of 6 bolts and nuts.

2 nuts are located behind the rear headrests.
remove the headrests, and you'll find a velcro'd cover
unvelcro it and you'll reveal a 12mm bolt.

the other ones should be black and are located near
the seat belt buckles and towards the ends of the cushion.
they will be holding down a metal L shaped bracket.

remove those and tilt the rear cushion forward.
you'll have to unscrew the seat belt guides.
3 screws hold on the guides.

once those are unscrwed, you'll be able to remove the
rear cushion all together.

Thans for the info.
But I mounted it on top of the rear window and didn't have to remove the rear seat.
