I should have searched better. This has already been covered. I found a thread on this. Apparently they are stops for the rails to keep stuff from sliding around. Does anyone use them?

I pulled everything off my rail, strung 4 guitar strings front to back, and installed 3 sets of these to use as frets. My MINI connect still does not work, but I can strum a mean Over the Rainbow to entertain myself.

Yes, The front rail is essentially useless. I don't' have a center armrest so the eyeglass case is ok.

I use them to keep my garage door opener where I want it. Could also work for keeping my phone from sliding back and forth, but its plugged in anyway.

I have the armrest. The eyeglass case fits under it. Works great since the whole armrest retracts backwards.

So I feel a bit retarded. Got my CM today and just don't get the center rail. Have two separate rails for front and back. I can't get anything to fit on the front rail. The glasses case only fits at the very back, right beneath the armrest, can't reach it though when seated. Don't get where to put the very lame iPod adapter. There most be mods for that, right?

What Sealy said. You should, however, look forward to many good times in your Countryman. Once you remove the armrest the glasses case makes a useful bin.

I finally figured out how to install the stupid glasses case last night, but it's pointless with the armrest down. I specifically bought the model with the armrest, so I guess I'll just have to forgo the use of the front rail.
