Front passenger seat issue (release lever to get in back seat)

[murrman]

A couple weeks ago I started noticing an issue with my front passenger seat. Specifically, with the lever that is used to move the seat out of the way to get in the back seat. It started becoming difficult to pull, and it definitely gives more resistance than the driver's side. The only thing I can think of is some sand got in the mechanism somewhere when I was at the dunes a few weeks ago. Does anyone have experience with a similar issue, or is anyone familiar enough with out the system works to help me figure out how to go about checking for sand or anything else?

This is the sign of a man who doesn't believe in the power of compressed air.

I actually just went out this afternoon to finally clean out the rest of the sand from inside the vehicle. I shot some compressed air down in the opening of the lever, but I can't really see much to tell whether it's doing anything. Hard to tell if it's made a difference yet since it seems to be somewhat sporadic when it sticks and when it doesn't.

"Why doesn't he just climb in back through the door?"
