Where the triangle stud sticks out, that the back of the t-top sits on. Heres a link to a pic of the parts.
Type in in317k for a picture.

If you are talking about the pillar behind the side [door] windows, the holes are for the adjustment plate which locates the rear outer corner of the T-tops. The smaller holes on the bottom are for the adjuster plate; the big hole is for the triangle-headed screw on which the T-top sits.
