Both of you missed the one little black clip that holds the back part of the seats in. I believe its your left(drivers) side of the seat that has it. Fold the seats down and move the left one over to the left, look in between both seats at the hinge and you should see this little black spacer thing, pull it out and take your seats out. Might actually be on both of them, been forever since I have had a back seat in my hatch, so I don't have a clue.
