Engine Sound Mat Plugs, Yet Another Mystery - 3 or 4? Options

[StarBear]

OK; as I'm continuing to comb through various tidbit parts, I've come across this mystery (to me). Asking for any insights, experience, or wisdom.

The engine sound-deadening mat has several plastic attachment plugs, part # 914 559 377 10; on PET Section 8, Diagram 807-10, #14. It has a barbed plug end and the PET (and other sources) show 4 are required. See photo.

Yet, mine (largely unmolested) has only 3. See photo.

There are two other holes along the left wall and right wall (hidden by the battery), the backsides of what I presume are the seat belt retractors, but these are wide and are filled in by the bolt end - nowhere for a barbed tip to attached. BTW, I've been using more of a mushroom cap to cover them. See 3 photos.

Question 1: If four are used, where the heck does the fourth one go??
Question 2: Might four have been used in early (70-71?) models and PET, etc not updated?
I'm so very confused.

Larger holes from seat belt (?) bolts:

@TonyA

you are dead right. just stuck my head right up in there and sure enough there was #4 on mine but broken off. its hidden by the engine lid hanging down when you open the lid.

thanks for pointing that out. never would have spotted it unless i was hanging upside in the engine bay. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)




@StarBear , if you figure out where to get these plugs let me know.
i'll order myself up one to replace my broken one.
