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.
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?
This video would have been REALLY helpful if it was in focus.
