How many screws for front lip?
How many do you guys use?
I have like, 13 micro holes that I could drill into.
Some are on the sides which would mean visible holes after removal (the farthest ones out) so I would assume just a few in the middle would be fine? Like 5?
Also they supplied self tapping screws - these are what I expected, but they don't loosen or anything over time/high speeds do they?
Also if I remove the lip for winter, can I use the same holes or is that moot because they're self tappers?
Appreciate the help

So then you guys recommend using machine screws instead of the self tappers so I can put a nut on it?

Stainless self tapping screws are fine with some silicone adhesive. I think I have 12 in there. I’ve had mine in there for 4 years without problem. Don’t overthink it, it’s just a cosmetic lip, it doesn’t take on much force.

Hate to revive an old thread but who is the reliable source for the front lips?
I've read some threads about suppliers taking $ and not shipping.
Thanks,
