On the back seat there are tabs i guess you would call them on the front outside corners of the bottom bench of the back seat. If you run your hand around the corner you should be able to fill them and push it in to release the seat. It will slide forward. I have noticed it helps to get it to release to bump or push on the front of the seat while you puch the release buttons. Also you will prob see this but when you go back on with the seat, there are locater like bars on both sides that line up the back of the seat bottom and guide it into place.
