Default Lost 3DS game in the rear seats

Hi folks. My son dropped his 3DS game into the gap where the female seat belt connector comes out of the rear seat on the driver's side. I was able to barely feel the cartridge when I put my finger in as far as it could reach but that's about it.

Does anyone know how I can access under the seat cushion? I tried folding the back section of that part of the rear seat down there's a felt covering there as well. I don't want to tear up the felt covering that's behind the seat (it makes it look "seamless" from the back of the rear seat transitioning to the trunk). There's velcro and it feels like plastic snaps in that general area but I'm not sure what's the proper way to detach them. I'm thinking if I can open that up I might be able to peer in at what's under the seat cushion and possibly reach the game cartridge.

TIA...

From what I remember the seats are just secured with clips so all you'll need to do it pull straight up to pop them out.
I don't recall needing to remove any bolts whatsoever there.

save yourself the headache of removing your seats and get this claw retrieval tool

Mayhew Select 45046 Lighted Claw Pick-Up Tool - Four Claw Pick Up Tool - Amazon.com Mayhew Select 45046 Lighted Claw Pick-Up Tool - Four Claw Pick Up Tool - Amazon.com


There are cheaper options found elsewhere, but this is one that I have used to pick up small trinkets in hard to get to spaces.
