Is there a separate nut that the rear seat bolts go into or is there a nut plate or some type of welded nut that the bolts screw in to?

I wasn't sure if I need to pull inspection plate to catch any loose nuts for rear seat removal.

Can someone explain what's under there?

They are nut plates. Be careful not to strip them. Look difficult to replace!

Here you go!
