Default Stuck Passenger Seat

My passenger seat will move forward and backward, but just barely. When I move it forward, it begins to turn into the gear shift console. I’ve undone the two front bolts to where I can tilt the seat back and look at the track and wires. However, I can not see into the track. Any tips, tricks, or directions that would make is feasible for me to clean out the track and get my seat back to moving the way it should?

Thanks so much!

As I do not know, if the S-Type has an electric passenger seat on all versions: Is your passenger seat electric?
You removed the 2 bolts in the front? What about the 4 bolts in the rear?
With all bolts removed, you can tilt the seat fully back, but mind the wiring loom, which you have to disconnect - and before you do that, pull the fuse for the seat-airbags.

Yes, it is electric.
I don't see bolts in the back, more like hinges.
I see all of the electrical wires, but no way to access the track where the spinning bolt is.

I think the rear bolts are hidden under plastic covers, which need to be removed first. They have a little sideways-screw of their own.
