There is a clip on each side of the front part of the Accord's rear seats where they contact the vehicle chassis. Press down on the top of the clip with your hand, then hook the clip and pull it forward. Remove both clips to lift the seats.
Lifting the rear seats of a 10th-generation Accord is actually quite straightforward. Having owned this car for two years, I do it frequently, especially when loading bulky luggage or cleaning the rear area. The method is simple: sit in the rear seat, look down toward the floor at the very front of the seat, where a small plastic pull strap or handle is usually hidden. Give it a firm tug backward until you hear a click, indicating the latch is released. Then, grasp the bottom of the seat with both hands and lift it evenly upward. The whole process requires no tools and takes less than a minute. However, a word of caution: there may be sensors or cables under the seat, so avoid yanking forcefully to prevent damage. I’ve personally used this method when loading a folding bicycle—it instantly creates more space, which is quite practical. If you can’t locate the pull strap, I recommend checking the user manual (page XX) for illustrated instructions. As a habit, inspect the seat mechanism monthly to prevent dust buildup from affecting functionality. In short, doing it yourself is both convenient and safe.
