2016 MKZ Front Passenger Seat Removal

[pwcopy]

Trying to find step-by-step for removing and re-installing the front passenger seat on my 2016. I will need this if I take it to the upholstery shop for repair. Can't leave the car because I only have the one vehicle. And I'm single; so no help to and from shop to office, etc. I've googled "2016 MKZ Front Passenger Seat Removal," and no luck. Many thanks for your help, PW
