Rear seat back frame is held by two little spring clips near the ends of the hinge rail.
You lift them up and slide the whole assembly slightly sideways, BUT, you don't need to take the seat back off to get to the inspection plates.
These are partly covered by the bar that holds the rear seat bases.
Tilt forward the seat bases and unclip them, then unscrew three small grub screws in the rail left in the car, then it sort of twists up and sideways and out.
