Touring rear seats

Can anyone tell me how to remove the rear seats from a touring? Had a nice mint sport interior delivered yesterday (bloody couriers didn't show up until 7.30pm after taking the afternoon off work grrrrr) The bolsters are straight forward enough but not sure how to tackle the folding mechanisms of the seats. Sure its a simple thing but it was late by the time i'd got the fronts in and just want to get the rears swapped quickly and easily tonight!

Any help appreciated.
Cheers!

Seat bases are easy. The seat backs, you need to fold the base forward, then grab under the bottom of the cushion, and pull away from the seat. Make sure it's locked in place though. Once you pull them off, all you have to do to replace is slide over the top of the metal backing, then firmly push/hit them. This should work.. if it doesn't or your talking about a different part... then no idea.. I think.

On a side note.. is the sport interior from a 4 door?? If so.. I don't know if it will fit without a lot of mods.

hope this helps!

Cheers for that oze30, wasn't sure if there were any hidden bolts tied in with the hinge points.

It's from a touring, same colour as was in mine but has rear headrests and is in much better condition! Sport front seats are a HUGE improvement over the comforts, just wanna get the backs and door cards in asap.
