Default Rear Seat REMOVAl Trick?

i know how to remove the rear seats, well i think i do. But the two pins under each rear seat won't pull out. I've already pulled both the outer pins by the windows but the pull pins closer to the armrest will not pull out. Did anybody run into this problem or am i forgetting something?

i've almost lost my index finger with these two.

It is very easy to get these out if you just follow Jared's advice, push down hard.

Yup, i din't realize how easy it was to take them off. All i had to do was push down on the seats and pull the tabs at the same time. Now i have 5 dollars worth in change.

pushing down on the seats to remove them, and making money working on the car... both sound pretty backwards, just the way it should be
