MB 88 vert passenger seat removal

I do not like the vinyl seats in my vert, too sticky in summer.. So I traded a pair of tatty fabric seats from a friend's 87 coupe and had them re-upholstered. I got the driver's side seat changed over OK, but how do you get the original passenger's seat out? I undid the bolts front and rear on the door side, but could not find out how the inside of the seat is secured.
I did a search with no luck. Any help would be appreciated!

The rear inside is held with a bolt just like the rear outside rail. The front is a bolt on the front of the rail. The inside rail is at a funny angle to make room for the hump that accommodates the exhaust.

It's all pretty straightforward. You slide the seat all the way forward and unbolt the backs. Then slide it all the way back and unbolt the two fronts.

Thanks, VRR, the inside bolt was hidden under a piece of carpet. My buddy Fred explained that. I got the old one out and the new one in with no problems.
Anyone need a pair of vert vinyl seats, no rips or wear? They are in Manitoba
