Answer
Hello,

There are no tricks and if you have rustyfloor boards other items might be rusty. If that be true, you are not going to be happy doing this.

The door sill plates need to be removed. Three screws on front seals I believe and 2 phillips screws on the rear.

Front kick panels need to be removed.  I think the ECM computer is mounted in the passenger one. Look for screws and plastic clips holding them.

Back cushion has to be removed.  I used to get in car facing front seat and kick bottom of seat with my heal and seat will pop up and can be removed.

Run the seats all the way forward. Remove the hold down bolts from the tracks. Pop the circular plastic from the seat belt covers off and remove seat belt retaining bolts from floor. These mounting bolts use a star socket.

Run the seats back, just far enough that you can get to the seat track mounting bolts. Remove them. Make sure shoulder harness will slide off holder in front backrest. Other wise you will need to pop the covers on the center pillars and remove harness bolts as well. Pick up seats and remove.

Pull the carpent loose from the front under heater vents. Slide carpeting out of pillar on each side. Remove carpet and under layment.

Have fun! If my answer assisted you please rate it. Thanks.
