Repair manual needed, I think

[RMcG]

I have a water leak and the carpet in front of the rear seat is wet. I have tried in vain to find instructions for how to remove the rear seat from a 2008 hatchback base model (the base model does not even have a rear windshield wiper). What little information there is online is for a rear seat that is split and slides. My base model has a single piece seat that does not slide.

I think I need to get the information I need from a repair manual of some kind, but I am not sure which manual I need and where to get it.

Some posts on the forums here have information on various manuals. For example, there is this link https://cardiagn.com/2007-toyota-yar...r-manuals-pdf/ but they ask to allow them to install a plugin to your webbrowser, and I am not sure it is really secure. Does anybody know if the site is secure?
And there is this link https://www.toyota-tech.eu but I am not sure where the information I need is on that website, if it is really there.

Any advice for where to get the information I need would be appreciated.

More details:

I need to get the carpet in front of the rear seat up and the underlying pads out to dry them. (I have tried towels and the carpet is much improved, but when I kneel on that carpet, my pant's knees get visibly wet indicating the underlying pads are still quite wet.)

I can see how the lower (bench) part of the rear seat is fastened at the two sides (by prying up the front end corners of the bench seat) see attached photo of the E10 Torx bolt. And I can see how the front of bench is attached, there are two standard hex bolts, see the attached photo of the hex bolt. BUT, the back middle remains a mystery. The back middle of the seat bench appears to be attached by hooks welded to a bar that is under the bottom edge of the seat back. This bar runs perpendicular to the long axis of the car. And I don't see how to remove that bar, it ends under some plastic molding at the sides of the car.

Thanks,

R.
