2nd row seat not sliding forward
My new to me 2007 MDX has this problem with the passenger side 2nd row seat not sliding forward after pulling up the side lever (not the top one to lay it down flat).
I have seen numerous pictures of people peeling the back and finding that the cables are not where they should be.

Can you guys give me a hint as to how I can achieve this? I know I need to remove the sticker on the side lever to gain access to the screw, but what else do I need to remove?
Thank you so much! With kids starting school, this is a big problem with them getting the back of the seat dirty as they enter the car!!!!

Thank you! That's the most information anyone has provided. It is interesting that I don't have 2 stickers, but just 1. If you can see the pictures, mine only has the back sticker and not the one on the side.
So, it seems that I just have to pull on the knob (A)? I'm surprised that this would be that easy to remove knowing that this is what you pull up to perform the forward folding/sliding.
Thanks again!

Now I feel silly! csmeanse. Thank you for your diagrams. They were exactly what I needed to take the back panel off. I broke some clips, but that's alright with me. Don't pay attention to my ramble about the 2 stickers (I wasn't reading the instructions right).
Anyways, the cables looked good on the back. As a matter of fact, it seems that someone had already performed the fix with the cable tie to hold the cables in place. So, that wasn't the problem. There isn't much room under the seat, but this time when I looked again, I found a Lego keychain stuck in the track! After fiddling with it to get it out (very hard because of the lack of room), the seat finally clicked and slid forward. Then I was able to free up the keychain. The seat now works properly.
Thank you so much for your help!
