KS 85 with a backseat

Help.............I have an '85 with factory backseat. Searching for how to remove I can't find anything other than "pull up has clips".
What exactly does that mean?
Pictures?
Anybody actually done this before???
Thanks in advance!!

Pretty rare to have the original back seat. Are you removing it for rust repair or getting rid of it entirely? Never had one with a back seat so I'm of no help in removing it.

Getting rid of it..........if I can figure out how to remove it. Gray interior car with an uncracked dashboard and 1 tear on the side of the drivers seat.

I don't think it was an option in the US. I suspect someone added it that owned it before you. Do you have the bins to go in as a replacement?

I'd be interested in the seats when you remove them. There should be some bolts holding them to the body. Maybe remove the side panels to see if they're around that area?
