Default Remove Lower Rear Seats?

I was in the middle of installing the BrownBread sound deadening material...I got the trunk all done and I wanted to apply to the surface under the rear seats...like this:



But I just don't know how to get those suckers off...in my previous cars they were pretty easy...but I don't wanna pry anything off and break something I tried searching, but couldn't find clear instructions to remove them....

The rear seat is held on by clips on the front of the seat at three locations i believe.

Grab the front of the seat and pull up...clips should release seat.

I recognize that picture (since it's from my web site)

You may have to give it a good yank - be not afraid.

Grab the seat bottom where shown in this picture.

Yes there are three hinge like clips and you need to push up and out I believe to get the seat out. All I know is when I installed my system the seat came out and when I put it back in there is a tiny space now from where the back of the seat meets the trunk. Damn

Hmmm... I don't have any gaps. I suspect you didn't get the seat bottom HOOKED BACK IN at the back of it before pushing the front down onto the clips. You might want to take it out and put it back in.
