[T3] Sliding seat tracks...

[J. Jonik]

No.  The holes aren't at floor level (i.e.  below the slide tracks), they're above the tracks...first thing your fingers hit if you go straight down the door side of seat feeling around for that lost dime.  
  Ah...but if those holes are for lube...there must be holes on center side of seat too.  Will look.

  So....if the nylon-plastic slider can't rust (from rust holes in floor just below)...then what must be keeping the seat from sliding either way?  There's no way, short off X-rays, to see what's going on under there.
  When it warms up a bit outside, I'll take out the passenger seat to see how things are supposed to work.

The idea of the plastic (nylon?) runners is they self-lubricate.  ISTR
modern VWs have nylon sliders on the attachment points.  It doesn't seem
likely that holes at floor level would lubricate the runners, which are
above the floor.
