If you get in the back with the front seats all the way to the front you should see the covers over the runners, you need to take these off (from memory they have covers over the screws), there should be two screws per cover. Make sure you un plug the airbag whilst the seats are forward. Now if you look under the front seats (slide them back and get in the front) you will see two nuts, you need to undo these then slide the seats out backwards. Now you can either take them out the front or back door.

also worth while disconnecting your battery about half an hour before removing the airbags

Back seats have a little clip / hinge hidden down on the bottom left and right of the rear bench. You slide those clips aroundwith a screw driver and it will release the seats - the middle is just a push fit connector between the two seat halves
