Instructions to remove driver seat

All,

I accidentally dropped my SIM card under the driver seat. I tried to get it out but instead pushed it under the inside rail and can't even see it now.

Does anyone have the PDF on how to remove the seat or if you can share some knowledge on how to remove the plastic trims and then remove screws would greatly appreciate.

Thanks.

Mine is a 2013 GL450.
