- You don't need to remove the rear seat backs. This avoids having to try and remove the side padded trim pieces which I spent 20 mins trying unsuccessfully to do. Instead, after removing all the bolts, yank up on the front edge of the seat cushion frame, and it will pivot upwards on the point where it attaches to the backs. Bungie cord it up out of your way. Mediocre pic of this:

I should have added: When done fold the seats down on to the lower seat frame, and lift upwards on the seat-back pivot point while pushing the lower front edge of the seat frame back on to its location with the mounting holes.
