Sports Seat and stop mystery

Guys,

I have an '03 TT with sport seats.

I've noticed since buying the car the seats don't have as much travel back and forth as my '02 996 with the regular power seats. Cleaning the car today I spotted what appeared to be stops which I removed. The seats still hit some kind of firm stop with about 1 - 1.5" further travel.

Anyone know why they would be there (pics attached)? :unsure:

(I've copied this over from another group, please excuse me if you've seen it before)

The seats hit the fixation bolts now. You have passed the safety travel already.

I can add some kind of U stop that would restrict the travel less than the original. Not sure how often I'd be hitting against the bot head to make a difference, seems like a pretty hard bolt head.

Yes, I agree with RFM - you are bypassing the safety stop. In an accident you could shear off the seat bolt.

I think I would want some kind of stop there.
