Ralph,

Thanks for providing your experience.  I removed the luggage rack to
replace the footman loops and glue stainless steel screen underneath the
drain holes.  After taking time to clean the top underneath the luggage
rack,  I put the top back on using the existing hardware and all seemed to
fit fine.  A test ride will hopefully show a stable luggage rack with no
flapping.
