Default rear seat removal information help

Hello everyone! I am trying to find information on where I can find complete instructions on how to remove my rear leather seat cushion on my 2007 SS monte carlo. I have been to a Chevy dealership...no help. I have been to two audio stores...they won't tell me and want too much money....I'm mechanically inclined, I just need to find an informative site online, or step by step manual on the process. Has anyone else found a good information source? I have the front of the seat popped up, but the back side wont budge...up, forward, push down then pull, nothing! Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know the seat bottom is not held in by any manual fasteners. The front of the seat pulls up and the back should pull forward. I can't exactly remember specifics because it's been a while - I had mine out way back in 2011 to install my sub. I can look in my Helm service manual to confirm.

Go to my web site where i documented a ham radio install - it includes the two 18mm bolts that are under the middle piece that might have the baby seat pictures and gives a good indicator where the front edge jams into the floor.

Go down to picture #9

Hello Sir! Thank you for your help! The back of the seat cushion was held in place by two 18mm hex head bolts....I couldn't find them for the longest time, until I decided to get "more physical"! I thought that there were just hooks, but it turns out that there were two rectangular flanges extending from the seat cushion itself, toward the upper rear area above the rolled trim... (semi circular) trim piece. After that, it came out easily...Whew! It took a long time, because I didn't want to tear anything! All the info, pictures, video's,,,,NONE said anything about "bolts"...I had to tweak the cushion panels to finally see the bolt heads. It would seem the 07's are unique? go figure!
Thanks again for your reply!
