To get the rear seat back out, remove the armrests, swing the bottom of the seat up towards you, and push the seat up, and back towards the rear window. There are two hooks it's resting on and it should come right out.

If it's just surface rust I'd just treat it with some rust cure (for instance POR-15) and put carpet over it. If it's rusted through I'd weld in new metal.

Like was said, remove the two bolts, pull towards you slightly at the bottom, a couple of inches should do, and push up. The seat engages three tabs at the top. I did not have to remove the armrests to get the top portion out.

In fact, you can't remove the armrests before the seat as there are screws in the upper filler panel that need to come out, and to get to these, the top seat has to be out. Just pull out and push up.
