Wrench lodged deep within Driver Seat track - Help
#21
In my manual it simply has two arrows pointing to each of the lower corners of the control switch panel and implies you lever up from there.It is not that clear.
It simply says "remove panel".
IF you can get the leather cover lifted up it may not help much depending upon what you see with the foam. But you could possible lever the foam away to some extent to see down the side better without worrying about damage to the leather? This is all guesswork.

The above Ebay listing for a front seat gives one an idea what the underside of the seat looks like???

Ended up cutting a torx bit in half and buying the smallest rachet i could find to get those front seat bolts out. It was slow progress but patience prevailed and not only did I get the seat out but I got other wrench out that was wedged in the rail. Would have never been able to get it out w/o removing the seat. Thanks again for all the input, glad this nightmare is over.

As far as I can tell that groove is simply to allow the seat back to go all the way back without fouling on the hook.

Followed this saga, imagining if I had my family fortune and a wrench or 2 jamming my seat track. What would I do? As usual, experienced forum members to the rescue with insights and suggestions to help save the day. Bravo!
As information flows the topic shifts based on an E-bay listing. The Hook and the Groove...add a video I've viewed many times and was happy to watch again.
Best practice seat positioning for transporting haberdashery. My cat is hibernating for the winter (snow came last week with the requisite salt and pea gravel), however, I now have reason besides pampering and checking the C-Tek to play with her.
I will now be able to transport dry cleaning and a jacket appropriately behind the passenger seat. I know I have hooks, never noticed the grooves. Love the detail and I love this place!
Very pleased to see the OP's outcome. A Thanksgiving story for the dinner table in Augusta later this week.

I found that when the item is near a massive metal part you can slide the magnet in a parallel direction down that piece and still pick up smaller metallic items (ferrous, of course).

I was trying to help by showing an example of what the track COULD look like and I pointed that out since I felt the best way of tackling the issue at hand was to take out the bolts holding the tracks. Where are your helpful comments?
