how does one get the front seat out from my B5.5 passat estate? i've slid it right back & it seems to have a pin bearing on a rubber roller that prevents it sliding further allowing removal.

i can't see how this pin is meant to come out, maybe i'm barking up the wrong tree?

i need to take the passenger seat out to get the carpet up more so i can dry it as it appears to be suffering from the well documented (on this site) problem with water ingress. also, i believe the control module is under the carpet somewhere, but i've not come across it yet. where should i be looking?

TIA
