Seat removal - no bolts to remove!

Hello all....
I'm trying to remove my passenger seat. The manual says pry up the four covers at each end of the rail, and remove the bolt/nut. Easy, right?
When I get to the back two bolts/nuts, there are none! It looks like there are pins or rivets where bolts should be. Has anybody ever seen this? I can't figure this one out.
My only thought was that the original owner, (who had a fuel pump cutout-type alarm installed) replaced the seat bolts so they couldn't be chopped easily.
Seriously, when I want to start the car, I have to press (and hold) two buttons for 3secs before the car will start, otherwise it turns over without starting.
I should also add that I found those security-type screws keeping the radio in place. You know, the ones that are easy to screw in, but really tough to unscrew?
Anyway, that is my only theory. It seems that what I have is NOT stock at all. I'm hoping someone can help me here.
Thanks
 
yea id say the previous owner did somthing to the seat.. generally 4 bolts and there out...seems like the old owner was a little worried his car would get jacked...

I'm trying to get the seat out to replace the fabric. I already took the amp out. While the seat was out I was also going to do some wiring...
Thanks.
