daydreamerh23, hope it helps! One thing I just remembered was that when we replaced the top rails, I found they were screwed into wood that is embedded beneath the fiberglass. it seemed like a recipe for rot... so as a belt and suspenders approach I drilled a larger hole and filled up with epoxy before pre-drilling and mounting the screws again (just didnt want to through bolt through all that wood). I used some 3m 4200 to seal them.
