In my 03' 325ci? I have removed the bottom portion but can't seem to figure out how to get out the back portion.

I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE TRUNK, BOT THE KEY AND ELECTIONS LOCK ARE NOT OPERATIONAL AND THE SEAT IS A 60/40. NON FOLDING SEAT. I HAVE REMOVED THE SIDE PANELS AND I AM UNABLE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO OFF THE BACK PRTION OF THE SEAT
