Maybe during factory assembly there was a few different thickness bumpers and they used whatever worked best for the particular car. IDK. Like I said with the thicker ones installed I now have to push “back on the seat to get it to latch and unlatch which I’m sure was not the way it would have left the factory. I will take a mic and measure the thickness of my original ones. If the replacements are .51 I’d say my originals are 5/16 to 3/8”. In the pic you can see what I noticed the other day,, the rubber had fallen off one leaving just the metal backer. It was like that on both seats.
