I have dropped a couple of things down there and on both occasions by moving the seat fully forward and raising the base, using a very long screwdriver, I was able to get the items out......

Did you unbolt the seat to get it in that position?

I'm sorry, but your post made me crack up so hard I had to catch a breather.
So how heavy are those seats?

I am thinking of removing them for the sake of weight loss just for the track.

Why would u laugh? because i dropped the card and when i lifted a seat there was nothing? My friend told me my face was priceless
It takes 2 mins to lift the seat, as it only has 4 screws, but then dont forget we have airbags in seats, if i am not mistaken, so once you unplug wires from seat, you will get warnings and you will need to code it back! Plus the seat didnt seem to weigh much, if u want to save weight, better try to remove rear sofa, unless you remove both front seats and put a pile of pillows to be able to seat and drive

why not just go from the back of the seat to retrieve the dropped object? flashlight and a pair of chopsticks will do the trick.

Honestly, u think i am that stupid that i hv not done it? I have already said, that its been stuck on the side between seatbelt buckle stand, wires and some brackets, without lifting the seat i could not even see it!
Before i went to garage, i spent good 40 minutes with 2 torches moving seat back and force, up and down jumping from front door to the rear door trying at least to locate it!
