I have a Yak Rack using tall towers in the front mounted to the
gutters, and the "fake bolt on gutters" in the rear. I used the pop-top
hinge bolts to hold the gutters on using the factory holes and bolts.
Works perfectly and no holes in the fiberglass. I can send a pict
p-mail if you wish.   ...JMM
