Great job on doing this yourself !! You probably should have tried calling Ranger themselves with your serial number but hey you did it. I think some guys have used the tool they use for window screens to help get that center piece in. Beautiful boat congratulations !!
Hello, thanks for watching! I did not on the rail guide itself, just on the screws to reduce backing. The rail goes in press fit or "snug" as is. Hope that helps answer your question!
