the bottom seat pulls out grab the back of the bottom cushion and pull up and out towards the front seat. On the back part, there are two straps that are bolted to the car. Unbolt those two straps, grab the top of the cushion and pull up and out towards the front of the car to unhinge it from the upper retainer rings.

Huh, I've never done it that way before Eddie. I've always pushed in(towards the rear of the car) on the front of the seat bottom to release it from the catch.

Maybe the regals are a little different, either way just push and pull untill it releases. I know the 87 had two straps bolted to the floor for the top cushion.

I think you can do it either way for the bottom of the back seat. I push it back and then pull up, but I can see pulling it from the back would work too I don't know if the seat would get bent doing it that way. No big deal just bend it back. But the back should have two bolts which also hold the seat belt retractors and they are T-50 torx. Then pull/push up on the seat

Here's a picture of what your dealing with for the bottom rear seat. There's one of these on each side. The wire seat frame clips into place on each of them.

I've alway pushed back on the seat as well.

Crawl in back, grab the back of the bottom cushion pull up and out, and then set it off to the side... two torx bolts (t-47) and then pull or push up on the back seat.. that's it. I lock my keys in my trunk every other day so I can get 'em out in like 5 minutes...
