Hi everyone- Problem solved. So my driver's seat is giving me grief. If I slide the seat forward, to vacuum or put something behind it then I can't get it to slide back without getting a long skinny screwdriver and sticking it into the track to lift a silver piece of spring metal up to go over what appears to be a stud welded to the actual seat track. I never had this issue in any of my other 914's. I tried to take a picture of the stud that sticks up. It appears to belong on the seat track, not like it was added by a PO. What is the deal here? How do I get my seat to slide like it should w/o getting locked up on this stud?
You can see it sticking up (blurry) better int he bottom photo:   |

Sounds like one of two things. First, there is a handle at the front of the rails that is used to move the seat forward and backwards. You lift up on that handle (which lifts the tang you mentioned) so the seat can move. If you have that handle then perhaps the seat rails got switched and it’s on the wrong side of the seat.
