Look at the four corners that attach to the floor.....you will have to remove plastic trims first....
There are usually two configurations....either all four have torx bolts, or the rears have the torx bolts only, and the fronts slide into position....
If it is four torx, then remove them....then disconnect all electrical harnesses......tilt seat back(if you have electrical tilt, tilt back before removing harnesses)....then tilt the whole seat sideways and can take it out of the front or rear door.....The seat is bulky and cumbersome, so it'* easier to remove if you have two people....
If only torx in the back, you remove them.....again, electrical harnesses.....you need that seat tilted back, because you will have to lift the rear of the seat upward, pivoting on the front retainers, and then pulling the whole seat backwards to disengage......then the procedure is the same as the first scenario.....
I would only do this if I were removing the carpet due to a water leak....lift up on the carpet and feel underneath....
If just cleaning, I would move both seats back as far as possible, to get the front of the carpet...........and then move it as far forward, remove the rear torx bolts, and if the front has torx just loosen them.....tilt the seats back, and then lift the rear of the seat(and prop it up) to get to the carpet underneath,....
