I am wondering what this Hook is for on the bottom of the seat. It certainly does not latch. I borrow the photo from another thread on this location, But mine is the same.

Also on the outside bottom of the seat what are the posts for as they just go into holes.

Best guess I've seen is to keep things from shifting in a collision

For hanging Walmart bags from?
My GTI has something similar in the Hatch. Walmart bags hang just perfect. Try them and see.

Problem is- IT DOES NOT Hook. ;-(
Try removing the little black rubber cushion closest to it, then check to see if it locks.
Yes--Done
No-- Try removing the next closest cushion and check.
Or you could take it to the dealer.

Had the same issue come up on test drive on rear seat back and bottom. after both mw and salesman messed with it thinking it was broken I tried slamming it like a truck with some 'authority' and guess what...latches tight now every time.
