Help! Removing rear seatbacks.

I've figured out how to remove the bottom rear seats, and I've figured out the how to release the mechanism in the center that holes the rear seatsbacks. How do I free the seatbacks from the sides?

Thanks,

I JUST did this a few hours ago. Took me forever to figure it out. (Or I am just stupid!)

From the back of the car, place a flat-blade screwdriver into the center stay for the seat backs. Then twist the blade to release the "axle" of the seatback, while holding it, pull the seat back straight up. Then rotate it toward the front of the car and slide it to the opposite side. I found it easiest to start with the passenger side.

Hope that helps! Call me if you still have problems!

Thanks very much. That was the trick.

I couldn't figure it out. I was afraid I was going to break something. It is a very weird design.
