Default Could it just be the seat rails?

So... I've been tackling issues with Grimy little by little. Next I want to look at the driver's seat adjustments. It generally moves fine but even sliding forward at some point the right side maybe binds up somehow and that side stops moving forward so the seat goes crooked.

Anyone have ideas on what it could be? The motors work fine, so I figure something with the tracks/rails is amiss. Maybe something jammed in there somehow? I have a feeling if I remove the seat it will be clear what the issue is, but it wouldn't hurt to get opinions from the best and brightest before I dive in.

I plan to search YouTube for videos that show how to remove the seat, but any advice would be appreciated!

Sounds like a coin or other debris could be lodged in there. Removing the seat would be ideal.
