   so my front drivers seat is locked into place wont slide forward or backwards right hand side wants to move but its the left side thats locked up.
   
   ive checked the runners nothing in them , i cant take the seat out as one of the screws is covered by the runner , and i really cant get a close good look at the mechanism to figure out where the problem is ....2 hours later im about ready to go bruce lee on this fucking chair
   did think bout drilling thru the runner to get to the covered screw but thats a no go as id have to go through stuff to then get to the runner it self ....
   
   Any ideas or anyone whos had this issue ?
   Cheers

   Prize up the spring clip,it's like a locking spring with a bar on it.it is located under the left hand side of the seat and you can free it up by moving the bar.
