Z3 Seat Totally Stuck - Advice on Removal - Help!!

[JBT68]

My 1997 1.9 Passenger seat motor is dead. I’ve removed it and can drive spindle for right side (The seat moves on rail).

The left side (by door) is totally stuck. I suspect it’s corroded. I’ve drowned it in WD40/knocked with hammer etc

It will not move at all. What do I do now? It’s set far back so I cannot get to floor nuts.

I have to get seat out as I have the seatbelt pre tensioner light and it won’t pass the MOT.
(I’ve tried reset with tool but keeps coming back)

Have you checked the fuse?

Yes thanks. I’ve since bought a cheap endoscope and seen the rails are rusted. Will try some rust remover and scraping gunge out!!

Best of luck of trying to get it unstuck. I had a fuse blow trying to get a seat to move (I didn't quite shave off enough of the new plastic inserts and it binded).
