The picture is kind of hard to see the details. But the aluminum top frame rail pulled out about 1/4”. The screws that held it on were far too small. The head snapped off and the next 2 screws pulled out. By putting #12 screws in, I was able to pull the bent end back in to contact the fiberglass sidewall. Then I drilled 2 new holes thru the rail into the wall, and used the special Oscar rivets to secure it permanently. Then I took the old screws out that I could get to, and replaced them one at a time. Now I have 2 rivets on the end of the rail, and new screws the rest of the way.
