Hey,
I have a set of Thule roof rack that I would like to mount on my Eagle. I do not want to drill holes in the roof if I don't have to. I was looking at a friend Westfalia and he has artificial gutters screwed to the side of his Westy that hold the racks. Using these Thule gutter pieces:

My question is, do any of you know or think the screws around the edge of the roof seem are strong enough to hold these artificial rain gutters in place to be able to attach a thule roof rack?
I plan on carrying a fiberglass canoe, about 75lbs.
Thanks,
Grant
