    Well if you haven't tried already, get a long box head wrench and lay on the back seat and try and get your arm under there.

    Not sure if you can rip off the top cushion to gain access, there may be plastic rivets in there that are replaceable. Worth thing to happen you would need a second hand seat (whole seat).
