Be careful not to strip the screws (ask me how I know) Troy was great about sending me longer replacements which may not have worked if I didn't have a pencil barrel.

Lurker with a helpful hint:
I've found that initially attaching the rail segements and backing plates with longer screws helps. The additional screw length allows you to grab onto those elusive and ever-sliding-out-of-position backing plates a little easier. You may also use a paint stir stick split lengthwise or a similar improvised tool to help hold them inside the rail while your third hand is threading the screws. You may even want to try a little loop of Gorilla Tape to keep the plate on the stick. Once you have it secured, remove the longer screws one at a time and replace them with the factory ones. And yes, it's just about impossible to do with the unit attached to the upper.
