Test the drill bit size on a scrap of wood. The screw should be tight but not overly hard or too easy.
Can use pan headed 1" stainless screws with a dab of sealant. NO adhesive.
Life Caulk is recommended for all sealant jobs.
4200/5200 is overkill and unnecessary (and expensive).
Put the rubrail insert in a bucket of hot water for 20 minutes. Will be easier to reinstall in the receiver.
Curious about using PAN HEAD screws. Originals are not and are counter sunk flush inside ... Would the pan head have to be counter sunk to permit re-install of the center strip? Or is the tube flexible enough to form over the pan head??
