Larry;
On an Alpine with the sheet metal cover for the folded down
rag top; the plate holds a fitting that the sheet metal covers attach to.
I do not believe it was for shoulder straps. The hole is also a good
place for tire smoke to enter the car after a good burn out if no bolt is
inserted to the hole. It is also a good place for rust to form.
