Hi, I have a 72 coupe deville and cannot figure out how to get the
front seat out. I have unbolted the front supports from the floor but
the rear is still stuck and I cannot find any bolts....thanks

Look under the floor pan, possible studs go thru the floor.

All seat assemblies are secured to the floor pan by either nuts
installed on the floor pan anchor plate studs, or bolts installed into
the anchor nuts or plates in the floor pan.
All electrically operated seats and seats equipped with a cigar
lighter, courtesy lamps etc., have a ground wire secured to the seat
frame and under one of the seat adjuster to floor pan attaching bolts
or nuts.
- On models so equipped, remove the shoulder belt guide loop inner
attaching screw; then carefully lift the upper portion of the guide
loop enough to slide the shoulder strap webbing out of the loop.
- Operate the seat to the full forward position. If the six way power
seat is operable, operate the seat to the full forward and upward
position. Where necessary to gain access to the adjuster to floor pan
attaching bolts or nuts, remove the adjuster foot covers.
- On full width and split seats where the front inner seat belts go
through the seat assembly, remove the inner seat belt to floor pan
anchor plate attaching bolts.
- Remove the adjuster rear foot covers and track covers, where
present; then remove the adjuster to floor pan rear attaching nuts or
bolts. Operate the seat to the full rearward position. Remove the
adjuster foot covers and track covers where present; then remove the
adjuster to floor pan front attaching nuts or bolts.
- On seats having any electrical equipment such as power adjusters,
power reclining seat back, cigar lighter, etc., tilt the seat
rearward and disconnect the feed wire connector.
- With the aid of a helper, remove the seat assembly from the car.
To install:
- Check that both adjusters are parallel and in phase with each
other. If not operate the power adjusters to the full forward
position then disconnect the cable from the adjuster that has reached
its full forward position. Operate the other adjuster until it reaches
its full forward position then reconnect the cable. Check the
operation of both adjusters.
- Tighten the seat adjuster to floor pan attaching bolts or nuts to
18-24 ft. lbs. (24-33 Nm
Sorry, no pic.'s, but this may help.

Maybe look just off to the side of the track in the carpet at the rear
for a bolt head. The fronts are nuts on studs I think and the rear
looks different which can throw you off.
