Yes, they are for ski racks. The one shown is the length-of-the-car kind which uses either side where the 3 holes may be but the the across-the-roof one (made of two pieces) uses the 6 holes altogether.

Do this.

Look under the seal in the front header where the targa attaches to and you will ot two "pits". One long piece of the ski rack attaches to those two "pits" if you want to call it that.

Then the other long piece has attachments with triangular shaped ends that is
attached to those 6 holes (3 holes per triangular piece) by of course metric bolts.
I have a couple of the ski racks that's why I know. When not attached you then use the plastic plugs that comes with the car, either brown or black, to plug the holes.
