I am removing the rear seats in my 89 hatchback to have upper and lower torque box plates installed. I did this last year on another car but forgot one part. How do you get the bottom half out. I thought I remember just sliding it out and not having to unbolt anything. However, it seems like the seat is stuck in the front. The back moves around but I can't get the front to pull out. The fold down cushions are out already.
 
Nevermind. I forgot about the two hooks that hold it together. I found something in a plastic bag stapled to the bottom of the seat. This was not on the other car. This is a location where Ford put buildsheets. Could this be what it is? I will take some pictures and post before I pull it apart.

It's just some type of cotton type stuff to absorb moisture...no pot of gold there.

That is what is looks like...I was feeling around in it for paper but did not see anything. I found a blue plastic bag under the carpet. Perhaps the pot of gold is there? Probably not, but that would be awesome.
