Subject:Pop Top Sports Rack

Having some trepidation in the face of drilling holes into my pop top! Gulp!
Looking for advice and encouragement.

The story is I have chosen the Thule Rack system for carrying my sea kayak
on top of my 90 Westy Syncro. And I plan to attach that rack by drilling
holes to mount the Thule fake rain gutters to the fiberglass pop top.

My questions are:
1.    Any advice, do's or don'ts regarding the placement of the fake rain
gutters or the drilling of the holes
2.    Has anyone bothered to reinforce the mounting spots by adding a layer
of fiberglass?
3.    Anyone have good or bad experiences they can share regarding racks
mounted to the pop top with fake rain gutters? Thule fake rain gutters?

Thanks,
