IIRC you have to remove rear seats x4 10mm bolts, then take off rear strut nuts place strut brace ends on the connect strut bar after, fairly simple job
One bit of advice be carful when removing/replacing seat the while you try to put seat thru seatbelt, you may not pay attenion to the seat brackets that will scratch you inner door sills
