I replaced the front hydraulic latch hoses and while I had the carpet out I thought it would be a good idea to clean it.

It cleaned up really well, so I thought I would do the passenger side also.

The seat will not go to the rearward position enough to access the two front rail mounting screws. It stops about two centimeters short. I removed the two rear screws to see if that would "help". No luck... Tried to push the seat back while actuating the switch to see if that would make a difference. Still will not allow access to the screws.
Any chance it has skipped a few teeth in the actuator and "thinks" its in the rear position?

 

Problem Solved! Found a piece of scarf wrapped around the actuating screw. Removed and now has full travel.

 

I've never heard-of or seen anyone remove the carpet to replace the latch lines. Wow that was a lot of work. I just remove the rear seat, right speaker and left front seat. I lift the carpet to slide the lines though.

Glad you found the obstruction before the motor or something failed.
