This was very helpful, thanks for the video. I managed to remove only the two rear seat rail bolts and bend the seat far enough forward to get a pry bar under the rail and push in the sticking pin.
Kym howard If I understand you correctly, you have just the opposite problem I did. Did you have any luck removing the front screws, using a crow bar to lift the bar enough to get your hand to disengage the pauls, then slide the seat forward?

I have the same issue as Kym but also wasn't clear on the fix? did you bend the fork back or do something else?
I don't think I am clear on what the fix is. I understood the video but I did not hear how to fix it.
This video would have been REALLY helpful if it was in focus.
A bit off topic, but I'm trying to remove the rails from my 2007 mini cooper s. I see 4 bolts, but the heads are smooth and the nuts are round. :/
My front passenger seat is all the way to the back and stuck. I can't get to the back screws to remove the seat. Please help...

Taking a chance an a response. I have same issue but mine is stuck in middle somewhat so can’t get to either front or back bolt. Now what?
