Default C70 Stuck Passenger seat

Hi
I have a 2007 right hand drive C70. The passenger seat (not motorised) is stuck in the forward position. I have tried using the normal levers and adjusters to realease it. I cannot see anything which could be jamming the rails. Neither can I see anything obvious to release it. It feels that the left side of the seat is free, but the right, nearest the driver appears jammed.

Look for a missing spring under the seat. Often a spring or a cable will detach, preventing one side of seat from moving.

Also, if you can't find a spring, look for a small hole where there used to be one. When these break or come loose they can fly a pretty good distance away from where they went.

*Disclaimer: I have no idea how an '07 C70 seat adjuster looks. Basing my answer on a lot of aggravation earned with other makes and models.
