Need Help

So i had some change in my pocket and it fell out in between the seat and the seat rail so now my seat wont move all the way forward it gets to a certain point and stops i can go back and then some forward but not all the way forward so i know its not the seat or the motor, i got a dime out but i cant seem to see what else may be on the rail to get the seat to go more forward, any suggestions? any help would be great thanks

i was thinking of removing seat from the rails if i need to do that does anyone happen to have or know how to do this? like a diy? thanks again

Slide it all the way back, pull that seat out and shake it upside down.
