Oh!!! I can answer this one!!! (Since I just recently learned how to do this myself)
Sit on one side of the rear bench... then lift your butt up (hover over the seat)... clamp your hands on the front of the bench (find the lip) then yank up... real hard. You can jerk it if you want. Just be careful not to bash your head on the roof of the car if your tall.
Do the same on the other side.
Just so you can understand it better, there are metal tabs that go straight down on each side... so pulling forward won't do anything.
Once each side has been popped up... tilt the seat bench upward then pull out.![]()
