Removing seats in an H1

[lamkai]

I just got some new leather seat covers for my H1 but I can't put them on in the rear unless I can take the seats out. That is because the seat goes right to the back and the ceiling is too low to take the head rest off too. Does anyone know how to remove them or how I can get instructions on removing the seats?
