Strange, my '71 Square has the small holes but no plates fixed to the rails, and no evidence they were ever used. I don't think I've seen them on the couple of cars I've dismantled either. I agree it may be to do with the folding of the rear seat - perhaps it's a combination of that and safety regulations in the USA. VW specified a special lower seat squab for taller drivers, and they would very likely need the extra seat adjustment, but I don't think my seat is lower than normal. My car is the lower trim spec, and manual - why would that change the situation, though? Puzzling ... Dave.
