How do I remove the rear seat?

Vehicle:

1984 Tornonado

I have kids, with lots of toys some of which are lost, I figured they have worked there way under the back seat. How do I pull the thing out?

I just took a look, I can't see or feel any bolts/nuts on the front side the cushion, nor can I see any on the back rest. My chilton's is of no help.....

Both the back rest and cushion need to come out.

Some seats are removed by pushing the bottom section back toward trunk and then lift up. If it comes out the back section may have a couple of bolts there and when removed it can be lifted up and out.

I will try that and see what happens.

I wonder just how many toys are under there......

This seat is so not like the Jeep seat....(Pull the tab, lift the seat....)

My '68 Cutlass conv worked this way....with bolts on the back section.

But, it took me sitting with my back against the dash (fr seats are out) and pushing with my legs/feet hard to push it back enough to pop up...

Don't forget to grit teeth and cuss, what a pita it is to get out.
