Impala Removing Front Seats

Is there some secret trick I am not aware of to do this? I removed the plastic caps on the rear and unbolted the two bolts back there, but I do not see anything to unbolt in the front. Do I have to tip the seat forward and then pull it out? What am I doing wrong?

BTW, I am beginning the process of sound deadening my car and I am already second guessing myself.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well I have the dealership service manuals in front of me. so this might be long, and they use the proper terms so it can be confusing, long story short, two bolts in back,electrical connections ***DISABLE THE SIR SYSTEM (AIR BAG)*** and where two bolts should be in the front, its just hooked in the body, so yeah just tilt and pull back it looks like. but if you want you can read on for the full explanation.

1-disable the sir system
2-position the front bucket seat in the full forward to the mid-position and the full up position
3-remove the front bucket seat adjuster track covers
4-remove the seat belt from the front seat track
5-remove the front bucket seat adjuster to the floor pan bolts
6-disconnect all the front seat electrical connectors
7-disengage the front bucket seat hook attachments from the floor pan
8-remove the front bucket seat from the vehicle.
