There's a 10mm headed screw at each side fastened thought a metal strap coming down from the sides of the backrest.

They're hidden under a flap of interior trim.

if you look just next to the seat belt buckle you will see the fabric is peeled back, the bolt is just visible (i removed the bench obviously but replaced the bolt) once removed slide the rear seat back upwards - you can also see the upper mounts in the picture just below where the speaker hole is
