Even if there isn't a little black knob sticking through the vertical carpet below the cushion, there still should be at least the stub of the metal rod sticking out. If so, pliers should see you right. After that, screw some sort of nut right to the end of the thread then araldite anything on the end that will work as a knob in the future. Plan B - Put hand down back of cushion palm forward. Move your fingers forward a few cms and you should cotact the other end of the release rod a bit above the floor. Push it forward as far as possible & lift the cushion (with the other hand!). If it doesn't free you prob need more pressure. It shouldn't poke a hole in your finger until the 5th or 6th attempt :-) Thick glove or even a thimble might be a good idea too. Cheers
