Default Putting in new sub but back seats wont come out! Help!

Hey guys my stock sub woofer blew out so i already placed the oder for a new one (after market) and will be arriving this Thursday. I have to get the rear seats out to take the old one out and put in the new one of course but I cant get the seats out. I saw the bananags thread and he said to grab the seat from the corner and pull up. Theres two problems with that I dont know where exactly to pull up and where ever I pull nothing comes up. I really need help on this one guys hah. Thanks!..

Imagine sitting in the backseat (left and right side). Lift up the part where your knee is at. Those are the 2 corners where the clips are at. You may need to use a little muscle if it's the first time the seat has ever come out.

Remove the c-pillars and the 3rd brake light if you have it.

Yeah, you have to remove the c pillars on the side, brake light, and the slide out that long part with the woofer outline (thats the best way I can describe it, lol) Check banags diy page..

after you get the bottom seat out, there will be bolts on the corners AND behind a little flap BEHIND the headrests. your gonna have to take the headrests out first
