How do you remove the backseat in a 1971 Monte Carlo?

Push in, on either side of the hump, about the middle of the bottom edge of the rear seat cushion. This will disengage the wire from the floor clamp. Lift up the cushion and remove from car. This maybe a little difficult using your knee for pushing may help. Remove the two bolts from the the wire loops at the bottom of the rear seat back rest and lift from the bottom. this will disengage the wire from the back rest clip. Reverse procedure to reinstall. These instructions will work for most GM cars 68-72 A-body (Monte, Chevelle. Olds, Buick, Cadillac) plus other applications.
