3M double sided tape... DONE.
Most of the push pins are in EXCEPT the last ones at the ends as John noted above.
I guess screws are in order at this point.

THANKS to everyone for taking the time for sharing your 6GT3 wisdom on even the most trivial subjects.

You guys make this forum addictive! You ROCK.

3M double-sided tape between push-pins, leaving essentially no gap. Duct tape over the push-pins to prevent them from popping out with slight deflection. Tried duct tape initially to cover the entire gap, but after a season it looked very ratty. Current method works just fine, looks clean, no issues. Would advise against screws. The pins are a pain in the butt, but they can all go in with a little patience.

For the two last ones you can also use the proper cup rivets that are longer and will fit without issues..
999.507.557.40 x2

Best

A bead of black silicone is where its at. Clean. Effective. Cheap.
