Hi all! I have a strange and gross situation with my 2011 Fit Sport - a mouse got stuck in the magic seat mechanism on the underside of the seat (passenger side without secret compartment) and died, which is causing an awful smell. I'm trying to find out if I can open that part of the seat (to remove the mouse intact, hopefully :-/), I've been searching and only found info about removing seats completely or opening the latch on the side. I see there are a couple screws there but I didn't want to start disassembling something that might cause more issues/be impossible to put back together. Would greatly appreciate any info!

I just checked my seats and I would definitely start with that middle panel.

 

Wow thank you so much, I didn’t realize that panel came up. I removed it and found a whole mouse nest in there! I still can’t get to where the mouse is, I removed the screws on the larger panel but it isn’t coming off easily and I’m hesitant to keep prying. If anyone has removed that large plastic panel from the bottom of the passenger seat let me know!
