Rear Quarter Panel Bedside Holes

[harrij4]

Greetings - I'm currently running a soft top on my '72. The snap rails for the top have a weather strip that seals up the oval holes in the quarter panel that the hard-top bolts use. But, there are two round holes in the quarter panel "bed rail" that stick out a little from underneath the soft top's snap rail. The end result is that water runs down the top, then into those holes. What are these holes for, and should there be something sealing them up? I'll try to upload a picture of what I'm referring to later tonight.
