wood flaps on cushions

Out of interest, those of you who have Harmony's, does anyone have wooden flaps screwed onto the back of the long cushions that make up the couch back? We have all tried to work out whether they are supposed to be there and what purpose they play or if they were added, but am so far drawing a total blank. Its a Talbot 1992 model, if that helps, but i have no clue what they are for - if anything. It doesnt say anything in the manual either that I can see.

Yes they are on a few models, intended to fold out to put a slope on the back rest. They also allow some ventilation between the seat back and van side

absolutely correct. My Fiat Ducato has the flaps.....

My Clubman also has them ,makes a more comfortable back rest slightly sloping rather than straight back.

My Clubmans got the same folding ply and my answer is the same as the previous ones and they work as well
