Diamond Plate Roofing Screw Holes Stripped...84FC

[Alex Smith]

I've got the same problem around the ladder landing. How did Blue Bird make the
attachment? I have assumed that the fasteners go into the steel roof ribs and
not just into the sheetmetal roof. ? Did BB tap/thread the roof or use threaded
inserts similar to those used on the ladder? Any help on this would be really
appreciated.

diamond plate is held down with #14 stainless sheet metal screws
and about 2 dozen will not pull down tight. #14 is the largest size
screw I've found, so my idea is to seal the stripped ones as well as I
can and then sink a new one right next to the stripped one. Anyone got
a better idea that doesn't involve taking off the decking?

Thanks,
