Well, this is a new one for me and I can't find a solution in search regarding my new to me '74 914 LE. The driver's side track release works fine and I can move the seat fore and aft easily but the Passenger seat seems to be welded to the rail.
The handle is intact and I can pull it up or down, verified with a flashlight. Unfortunately it is stuck in the furthest aft position so as to obscure access from the rear. Could it be a rust problem? Or possibly is the spring missing. Does anyone know of a technique or trick to get it to release? No I really don't want to go in by cutting the bottom of the floor pan! |

I would try to remove everything you can surrounding the seat to resolve this issue.
I had one of my prized Scheels stuck in my driver car. I put them in the car to drive it to a PCA event, and then came home to find I couldn't get the passenger seat out. I sat in the seat and got it to inch forward a bit at a time, then pried it out carefully with a towel wrapped 2 x 4. |
