How do you remove rear seat on 96 mercury sable to change rear strut?

Not having done this on my 98 Sable (yet!), I took a look at the Autozone.com repair guide for replacing rear struts - see link in the below section titled "Related links".
NOTE: Autozone now requires free registration to access the repair guides. More than worth the extra effort for these photo/illustrated instructions.
It doesn't appear that the seat has to come out - just remove the plastic trim piece to get at the top strut mounting bolts.
If you do replace yours, it will be helpful to others if you add to this answer any tips and tricks you may discover from the experience.
