Help or Advice Needed

I've spent most of today trying to fit a new pop top canvass onto my van. Down came the roof no problems at all until I started unscrewing the top rail where the majority of screws were rusty and they broke within the rail housing. With them drilled out I now intend to re-fill the holes with a plastic resin glue. Would anyone recommend against doing this if so what should I do and does anyone know where I can the correct screws for both the top and bottom rails. Any help or advice appreciated.

i would use fibreglass chopped matt to fill holes and replace the screws with stainless so in future they are easy to remove if you ever need to

Cheers faggie took your advice on the resin to use, drilled the new pilot holes just waiting for the new screws to arrive hopefully they should hold. :ok
