Keith,
I believe that is where the original seat installer put the screws too
tight and the beveled washer cut the layers of the old canvas there... be
very careful when replacing the canvas that you dont tighten the screws too
much, they will cut the canvas! A 100% original GPW would have script
front and rear passenger seats.. however like grab handles seems the
previous snapperheads who owned our jeeps tend to toss that kinda stuff out
for some reason or they just rusted out..
