You don't need pics dude. It's so simple. Just have a look. And torx screws are a type of screw, just go to halfords and get a torx screw set for it.
And it's an isofix bar. Take it out. Remove the plastic cover, then use a spanner to get the bolts off, make sure you put the bolts back in though. You may need to spray some lube(wd40) etc. up from underneeth to get the bolts out if they are stiff.

i took the isofix bar off, then undid the screws then either slide the seats backwards (could be forwards tho, cant fully remember sorry) then they should come away from a bolt and can be taken out. then if your permanently removing them, put the isofix bar back in place.
If youve got a haynes manual its in there.

As said, the bit you sit on folds forwards and you give it a jig and and a pull and the metal brackets will come out of the holes.
The backs need unscrewing. I'm not sure if you HAVE to remove the ISO bar but its far easier. The ISO bar is the black thing behind the seats. Pull the plastic cover off and undo the 2 bolts holding down the metal. I think you should be able to use the wheel brace for this. Then there are two bolts where the seat partition is. One bolt only needs loosening so the metal bracket can slide out but first you have to undo the main bolt next to it. The one nearer the back of the car iirc. This needs a 30 torx or 40 torx screwdriver. Torx is a 6 sided-star like shape, a pack from Halfords is about a tenner. Be careful though. A bit of WD40 on the bolt threads will help. I was too vicious with mine and ended up rounding off the torx threading on the bolt head.
Take your laptop to the car or print off and have a read whilst having a look. All will make sense then.

Yeah they do. But I never really though it was an issue. You do head every tiny stone being chucked onto the underside though, but the holes make my KTEC stealth sound even better.

No idea on grime getting through onto the rear window, the holes aren't that big.
Yeah bar is useless as Skinny said. You don't need it unless you've got kiddie seats anyway, so no point putting it back if you don't have any seats to put the kiddie seats on. I don't know about the rust issue, but I'd put them back just to quieten the road noise a bit.

Bottem parts obvousily just unclip then the back part is bolted together under the isofix bar which will need to be removed iirc when i did mine i snapped the bolt.

renault clio 1.6 rsi
im fed up of trying to get the isofix bar out so im just gonna cut a gap big enough to get at the bolts holding the back seat to the car
a guy fitted my tracker the other day and when i asked him he said the bolts are akward to get out coz they are bigger towards the end of the thread for some stupid reason
but i have a way around it now so i aint bothered

yer but as ive sed i put loads of wd40 on and left it to soak for a bit
ive also tried using a strong-arm for more leverage and nothing they aint budged any more since i started so im just gonna cut a chunk out of the flat part of the isofix bar with my mini angle grinder then i can get to the bracket holding the seats in

Get under the car and put some WD40 on the bottom of the bolts and leave them to soak. Then undo them as far as you can spray some more WD40 and do the bolts back up a bit. Repeat this process being careful not to round the bolt off and the wd40 should get into the thread/hole and help you get them out. Worked a treat for me.

grow some balls, its such an easy job to do its stupid,
that isofix bar is to screws and it comes straight out, you cant break anything... Yeah, they are tough, but use some muscle and it will undo fine. I didn't need any WD40 and I'm 18! Come on!
Then do what people have said above to remove the seats, geeezus, some people! YOU CANT GO WRONG!

they are bolted together ^
The bolts just need snapping put your back into it.

Covered in bird s**t
Back seats are easy lol, didn't need any wd40 when I was fitting the RS interior. Fronts tho, different story lol.

which bit you struggling with? Have you removed the two brass 18mm (correct me if wrong) bolts from the ISO bar in the boot? If so thats all you need to do. Obviously press the buttons in to fold down the seats, and they should just slide out. You shouldn't have to damage them in any way.
I just used a ratchet with a long spanner hooked on the end of it for some leverage, was a bit of an effort but no real complications, try tightening it back up a few turns and going at it again. it's just the built up rust on the bolt from underneath the car thats struggling to fit through the hole.
