2+2 rear seat

Hi, can anyone remind me how the rear seat on a '71 2+2 moves forward please? In the past I'm sure I just pulled the thing forward but while the n/s seems to want to move the o/s seems firmly stuck.

I bought the car last year and whilst not exactly a 'barn find' it hadn't turned a wheel since about 1989 consequently it had a few 'issues', most of which we have worked through and the car...

Not that I have anything against that fine town other than the salt content in the air. The car now lives in Devon and I am looking for someone who I can trus...
