Rear Seatback Removal

Here's how to remove the backs of the rear seats:

The outboard pivot bolts can be accessed after folding the seatback fully forward. Then detach
the seatback carpet from the hatch floor (2 screws, one on each corner of the carpet). Pull
carpet up, then use a 3/8" drive wrench with a 6" or so extension and an allen head socket to
reach the outboard pivot bolts (2).

The inboard pivot uses 2 bolts, one on the vertical surface and one on the hatch floor (access
by lifting up carpet edge). Then the whole thing just lifts out.

This is the best I can remember, having removed my seatbacks a year ago. BTW, there is no
info on this in the shop manual...just says remove the rear seat backs (big help!).
