Front seat removal...
Forgive me if this had been covered. (did not find anything in search). I'm looking to take my seats out so I can do some detail cleaning. The mutt goes everywhere with me and over the last six years I'm pretty sure I have a furball the size of my labrador hiding under there.
It's obvious how to get the back part off, but the front is not so obvious.
I have electric heated seats, so obviously that's a concern and I will unhook the battery first and be careful with wiring. I don't really have to remove them all the way, just want to move them out of the way a bit.
Thanks.

These pics should show you I really do have a lot of dog hair in my car, heh.
This pic is the back, and it's a no brainer how to do it.
But the front is a completely round "bolt" that goes through the sliding track and has the exact same round "bolt" on the other side. A socket or wrench isn't going to do anything with this.
I can't see any other bolt in the front so I'm baffled.

Those look VERY similar to mine... On the front of mine, there isnt a bolt at all. It is a "hook" that you should be able to get out by tilting the seat forward once you have the rear bolt removed. Once the seat is tilted forward, you should be able to lift up the front portion of the seat and it should come loose. Once you are able too see the bottom, you can easily remove the harness. Good luck. Give Fido a milkbone.

Finally had time to try this out. You indeed take out the back bolts, pull up on the seat from the back, and then pull it toward the back. Comes right on out after undoing the one harness. Very easy.
Only my dog wasn't as impressed...

Pretty much. It's a [little] bit harder than removing them. Only because you have to get the male part into the female part (giggidy) and it is slightly awkward. If you had a helper it would make it easier but can definitely be done by yourself.
Put this...
into this...
Make sure it's as forward as it can go and your back and your holes will line up in the back.
And my dog found his seat and was happy again...
