Thanks. I managed to get it out.
Mine is held by two screws which point upwards near the speaker openings. Once those are removed, the seat can be lifted up, though it did take some effort.

My car is NOT a '79, but the rear seat back has no screws holding it in place. It clamps over the rear deck on top and is wedged behind the seat bottoms to hold it in place. I can remove it by simply lifting it straight up and then out.

Can anyone tell me the location of the screws that hold the rear seat back in place on a 1979 Mini?
I suspect they are somewhere under the thick soundproofing on the boot bulkhead.

Thanks,
Joe
