Default '71 seat back mystery

I'm rebuilding my seats. I have no idea why the seat back has this "bump" on one side. Both seats have the same bump on the same side... there is no left or right. Enlighten me please.

Does it have to do with where the original low latches were on a 68?

I believe they were both on the driver side of the seat back when installed.

They sell adhesive remover that might fix that unless they actually pulled the plastic covering off when they removed the adhesive protectant sheets from the seats. First thing I would do is take it to the dealer and tell them to fix it, because if you try to fix it and make it worse, they're gonna say it's on you.

Why can't you do what the "General" should have done in the first place? Only NCRS is aware of "that little tidbit" of information. No one else cares. If you want leather/deluxe, go for it.
