It seems that you just need to PULL UP VERY HARD! I'm in the process of doing my seats, now. I tried the "push back & lift up" method, to no avail. I didn't break the plastic tabs, either. Try doing this with the top down; it makes it easier.
There are two metal "loops" on each side that would be positioned about the middle of each seating position where the seat meets the carpet. I'd recommend prying up on each side of these with two very large screwdrivers, as there is no support in the middle of the loop and you will definitely tear your seats up this way. Once you get it unlocked you should then put something over the slot to prevent them from reingaging the plastic lock tabs. Try not to pull from the middle of the seat as you will bend the metal reinforcement that keeps the seat snug to the body of the car.
You can also do as the previous poster said.. putting the top down and pulling with all your might. I can confirm that the push back & lift up method will not work in this situation.
