Standing in the back facing the seat, push the bottom cushion straight back and then up, you'll feel the catch release. The back edge is held in by tucking under the seat back, now you can lift out the bottom. Then you'll see a metal tab folding through a loop at the bottom left and right of the seat back, sometimes they will snap off from prior removals an may not be there anymore. Unfold them from the loop, freeing the bottom of the seat back and push the seatback upwards. There are two hooked brackets that secure it at the top, a couple good wacks and it will pop off and you can remove it. Instal is the reverse, 2 door and 4 doors are the same.
