How do I take the seats out?!?!?!

I am putting the new tower on my '01 21V and I don't know how to the the side seat backs off to get to where I need to take to old tower bolt out and drill new ones. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

On the side panels, pull the top and bottom apart in the seam and there will be screws on the panel holding it on. If you are lucky only half will break, either taking them out or putting it back on.

Well those are encouraging words

Sooner, I just did this on my 2003 20i. What seats are you talking about the front bow, or the passenger next to driver?

Well, I got them out and I didn't break any of the screws, but what the hell are they made of? It looks like they are made of aluminum. One of the heads of the screws was bent really badly.
