but to elaborate.....it's a wire retainer that you pull forward and then flip down. A small flat screwdriver can help in doing this since it may be difficult to releae (mine is). Reverse the procedure when reinstalling the bottom cushion.

how do I remove drive power seat?
car is disabled and has no way to get conventional power to seat motor.
I have tried applying direct voltage to each pin in teh plug while grounding to seat rail but no luck. is ground only in plug?
seat is perfectly positioned so that neither wrench nor socket will go on any seat base bolt. =(
I have battery and leads-maybe I can hotwire motor?

after lower cushion is removed, there's 4 bolts holding the seat pan to the rails. Those can be removed, giving you possibly enough access to remove the nuts holding the rails to the floorpan.
The grounding for the seat motors is provided through the harness, not the physical mounting of the rails, as far as I know.
