How to remove backseats?
I searched the web and found that the backseats just pull right out by grabbing the front of the seat pan and pull straight up. I tried but the the seat pan is never pulling up. It looks solidly held. It is 2006 year. Since there were minor changes from 2006 year model, I suspect if there was change in assembling the backseats. Any idea? I need some tips!

Pull harder, try not to hit your head when it lets go.

Bruteforce it! Only the backrests are bolted.

There are 2 plastic clips that retain the seat bottom..you have to pull on the front of the seat cushion quite hard to get them to let go....
