Start by removing the rear seats. This is easy. Flip up the bottom cushion and remove the 6 bolts holding the seat frame to the floor. Once the seat frame is unbolted and removed, it will look like this-




Next, locate the four "clips" on the back wall that hold the seat back in place. They look like this-




Remove the first one and hold it back in place upside down like this-




Cut the rear liner as appropriate so the clip can be bolted back in upside down-






Do this to all four-



Reinstall seats.

To flip down the seatback, lift the bottom cushion until the back raises up and inch or so, than fold the back down onto the bottom cushion.

If this sounds difficult or confusing, you're over thinking it. It really is this easy!

I did this also, but I removed two bolts instead of six. The two star bolts on each one of my bench. Then I lifted up and it was free. Same idear, just another method for someone without the 60/40 rear seat.

I never use it, I just did it to do it.
