We've had the Filon droop a bit, which doesn't hurt anything. we have had a couple of the TEK screws actually come unscrewed and falling out into the bed of the truck while rolling down the road. I just put in larger hex head TEK screws and have no problem. If you wanted, get some stainless steel fender washers to use along with the TEK screws to provide some additional support. So far, I have not had any break, but wouldn't worry about that, considering how much of the hardware today is imported and pretty cheap compared to what was once available when made in this country, kind of like the issues with the imported trailer tires many have had problems with.
