I didnt use one. My hands are small enough or should I say that my arms are small enough to reach around and pull the tap back

Both my neighbor and I were able to do it without screwdrivers. We're both 6'1 and I'm 180, he was 225. Won't be all that easy but it is definitely do-able. It's hard to explain exactly how to get the clip off but once you feel around again and again you'll finally get it. Once you do, the other side takes only a minute or two and finally, once it's all the way off it makes even more sense.

I also shoved my arm back there to reach the clips. Once I got the seat off, I zip-tied the clips so now I can easily pop the seat off and be to my amps in about 40 seconds.

OK I was able to pull my back rest just by pretty much following these directions.
My forearms are to big to get my hands back there so I tried the screw driver idea.
I couldn't get it to go or I was just afraid of causing damage with how hard I was pushing.
So I took an old channel lock pliers and removed one side. With the angle it gave me I was able to push on the tab with little effort. Also I felt more comfortable using it bcz of the insulated round end I knew I wouldn't tear leather, fabric, or go thru my hand if I slipped.
All in all took bout 30min.
To bad my factory sub won't fit back there.
I haven't figured out how to post pics yet so check out my album. BackRestRemoved

Wow...that was not easy but between all the tips and pics I finally got it and found the elusive door code I was looking for. Thanks for all the help! I will also be tie wrapping the clips back before I reinstall the back seat. Btw the T-50 does not need to be removed.
