Stu, I didn't for a while either, but now I don't hesitate for a bit of 'modding'.
Instructions
To remove:
Choose a seat
Place end of seatbelt in holder slot in the C-pillar.
Find the seat handle (at top, near the window and lift - I'll call it 'top handle')
Push seat forward
Find handle at base of seat (almost in boot, you'll see it - I'll call it 'base handle').
Lean on the top of the seat back with one hand and pull on the base handle with other, you'll work it out in terms of pressure to apply, etc.
When releases it folds upwards.
Stop and have a look at the base of the seat in it's upright position. You'll see the retaining bracket and see how to remove the seat from it. Use the base handle you just used to act as a carry handle and lift the seat out (I find it better at a slight angle).
To replace:
Put seat back in at a slight angle again and be comfortable that it is in the clip as far forward as possible.
Fold it back down and press down at base of seat back.
The seat back will now not lift up until you then press on the top of the seat back and you hear it click (don't know why).
Lift up the seat to vertical (beware of trapping the seatbelt) and you may have to lift the top handle near window again.
Done
