[T3] Sliding Front Seats...

About problem sliding T-3 '71 front seat in either direction due, apparently, to rust.

The Owner's Manual says nothing about lubricating the seat tracks.  It does not explain the two quarter-inch (+-) holes on top of the track area. No help on this at Samba either.    The holes, about 6 inches apart, are as close to the floor as you can get down beside the seat, in canyon between seat and the bottom of door frame.  They'd be probably packed with dirt and maybe covered by some of the rug on that side of lower door frame.

How to find out if those holes are indeed for lubrication...with oil?
  Right now, I have those holes cleaned as best possible, and flooded with Liquid Wrench (stronger and smellier than WD 40) and haven't gotten back to trying to move the seat.
