Hi Matt, welcome to our little world.

Your sig mentions a '72 Squareback. VW changed the seats in mid-72; 
early ones ride on 2 rails, while late ones are a 3-point mount.

I have a few of the plastic slides for the early ones. Email me 
directly if this is what you're looking for. The early sides are Type 
3 parts only and are not available anywhere else to my knowledge. The 
late ones are the same as Beetles from '73-on, so those parts are 
available from lots of the VW aftermarket sources, or probably even 
from your dealer.
