Unhappy Need help removing front seat

I'm at a loss on how to remove the driver's side front seat. I found some instructions on how to do it,
"Slide the seat forward so that access to the rear bolt covers.
Slide off plastic covers and remove both bolts (14mm)
Slide seat back and do the same to the 2 front covers/bolts.
Rock the seat to remove the power seat connector if fitted."
Link

However, the bolts seem to be 12mm.
I managed to remove the rear bolts with relative ease. However, I can't seem to find the front ones. Does anyone have pictures of them?

These are some pictures from the front. Click to enlarge.

100% incorrect my friend. You are doing wayyy too much work. The set of instructions you found are correct. Just follow the rails that are bolted down to the floor. There should be 5-14mm bolts securing the rails down. In order to access these 5 bolts you have to remove those plastic caps. Once you have all that removed and out of the way you lean the seat back and unplug the connector located right underneath the seat.

Oh

I guess that's what happens when you start something BEFORE reading the instructions. I spend so much time yesterday trying to get the seats off, and it was this easy.

Thanks guys!
