Default Drivers seat wont move all the way forward

95 xjs with memory seat. Having a problem with the drivers seat for the past couple of months. The seat has functioned in the past. The seat will not move all the way forward. I hear the relays click but the seat will only go so far. It goes all the way back just fine. I ruled out the seat control module. I want to remove the seat, but I can not get to the rear hold down bolts since the seat will not go far enough forward. I have had the seat out before . Help. Any tips will be appreciated. Thanks

It appears it is hanging up somewhere. I finally got it to go all the way forward by lifting on the bar at the back of the seat cushion while operating the seat fore/aft button. I will look at is more closely after I remove the seat. What a relief.
