when you attached them with the final screws, what were you screwing into?
I love the idea and compliment you on the great work, but before I try it, I just worry about what those screws are going into?
thanks
A quick phone call to Northwood confirmed what I thought; frame rail (tubing) runs along the bottom edges. After a quick explanation of what I was wanting to do, it was a real quick 'go ahead, no problem' response.

RC...I am with 2009...what are the screws going into??? And I don't see unless you really cleaned it up any sealant squishing out of the screw holes..I do see the black along the top edge.
Doing the rebuild on my TC I cannot get over how much "GOO" is used..it just makes me feel something is missing on your build very nice build. That certainly is a good solution to your flatbed. Those guides are sweet!
I wasn't concerned about filling every hole with goop. Water runs down hill, looks for the easiest route, and the thing doesn't sit in a bath tub. And it's not screwed into wood.
I understand you're initial thinking, but the chance of water wanting to follow the screw past the friction of the threads instead of following gravity for a free fall to the bottom of the rail didn't strike me as probable. So, I didn't worry about it.
Thanks for the nice words.
