Overhead storage cabinet on Mako / repair....

You can't put enough in to have the wood fail. A 5/8" thick oak block on either side with the screws going through to the t-top and then using 3 or 4 stainless 1" screws for each side to mount the bottom to the top.

Bernie, if that is original T-top from manufacturer, I would also contact Mako...... If it is aftermarket, is there a manufacturers name on the box? But make some noise with Mako for sure.....

It's a 2011 model so I am sure not under warranty BUT is is easy to see that most factory screws MISSED the top black 1/4" thick plastic and hence eventually caused the failure. Even if they did decide to ship me a new one I just don't feel comfortable with all that weight being held by 14 tiny screws in the edge of that 1/4" plastic, plus as I said.....I can see it does flex and in the heat even more. I probably carry more than most which isn't helping the situation but it SHOULD hold whatever anyone puts up their.... excluding the multiple large fillets I mean....
