OK, so to prevent long-term cracking, it's been recommended to me to drill holes 30% bigger than the screw being used. The screws for the canopy are #6, right? I'm not sure of the diameter of these screws, or how much bigger the 5/32 drill is than this.
Instead of the 5/32, has anyone gone up to a 3/16 plastic drill, and then used #6 Tinnerman washers (A3236-012-935) to center the screws in these holes and distribute some of the stress fromt he head of the screw?
Or is 3/16 too big for these holes?
