Don't know on the 2003. On both our 98 and the 97 I grabbed split-second seats from for the 95, they had one broken cable each. On them, there are two cables each, one on each side of the seats, that release the hooks from the bottom hoop-anchors. If yours are broken, better hope they are not the same cables that the Gen II - II.5 used, as they are no longer available.

Don't know what to tell you on getting it to release, based on your description of the undersides. On the Gen II-II.5, as long as one of the folds, you can get to the hook-latch on the broken one from the exposed side.

Oh, and welcome to the wire. We'll hold off prejudging you based on the Ray-connection... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
