i believe that the lowwer seat cusion comes out all by itself.....held in by 2 screws at the front youll have to get down and look up under the seat. but i think there 2 10mm screws then the seat bottom pulls out and at the back a tab holds it in it just slides forward and out

on my sl there are two large horizontal phillip screws up front on each side. remove and lift up hard on the front of the seat cushion. get a hand mirror and maybe a flashlight to find them.
