You need to remove the carpet and padding to.  Remove the trim at the sliding door.. the carpet will come out.  Then the seat just slides out.. if not, try some wd40 and wiggle the seat loose.

I need to remove the center seat in My '88 GL. I removed the four bolts that
appeared to obviously hold the seat to the floor, but the seat won't budge.
Like it's bolted elswhere or welded down. Didn't see any apparent attach
points underneath the van....although I was looking through my bi-focals
from the outside edge of the vehicle.

There seems to be no picture of this seat and its attachment to the floor in
my Bentley.

Anyone have any suggestions or insights?

Thanks
