Been searching around a bit but can't seem to find anything on removing the rear seat that folds into a bed.
I need to fix the rear heater, and there is a bar that runs across the underside of the seat that prevents the heater cover removal.
Any help would be appreciated.

Cool.
Easy question because I did it a couple weeks ago.
I had to unscrew the front wooden kick panel.
Byut then my bar flexed far enough by hand, to get the heater cover off.
I pulled HARD on it by hand and was able to get the heater cover off, and back on.

Removing that seat isn't the easiest task.

Both the seat and back screw onto the operating frame at either end.

The operating frame is bolted to the body with multiple bolts including the outboard seat belt bolts.

Figured it out.
Lift bench up and remove 4 small bolts securing bench to seat frame, located 2 on each side of bench bottom on the ends. Bench lifts out easily. You have to remove bench to access the bolt(s) in next step.
There are 2 large bolts on each side of van securing seat frame. Just remove the 2 on one side, you can then easily pull the bar far enough to remove heater cover.
Done
