Back seats usually are held to the floor using clips that grab the springs. One might be popped off. Sometimes you have to pull the whole seat up, clean out any junk under it so it goes "home" all the way.
You have to crouch over the seat and either push the seat forward or backward to get it off the clips. Once the back pops up it comes off easily enough.

The seat backs are bolted in... you remove the bottom portion of the seat and you'll see a bolt for each side of the seat back
at the bottom.
The bottom protion of the seat is held in by two clips that are welded to the floor.
You can feel under the front lip of the seat and find them, then you push away from you on the frame portion while lifting up.
This should release the bottom portion of the seat from it's catch.
Repeat for the other side.
Also make sure your seat belts are topside as they can cause a rattle.
Also check you upper mounts for your rear shocks, these too can cause a rattle.
Best of luck!

Ohhh the upright portion is rattling? Usually the lower part gets loose or pops up after hitting a huge bump, that's what I thought it was.
