Will not fit luggage rack

I needed two kits to attach my 84ft Safari rack to my Ford Excursion's factory roof rails. The stand itself is good, but that's a problem. The square "nut" that slides into the rail is too small. Tightening the legs allows this "nut" to come right out of the rail and potentially "loosen" the entire Safari brace. or worse. I had to insert a tiny screwdriver into the rail to turn this square "nut" almost into a diamond position so it would stay in the rail on the roof while I tightened the screws on the legs. And also. Speaking of leg props, I ended up driving all over town to buy all the new gear for them. Why ? The Safari stand and optional floor set come with beautiful stainless steel hardware. Big ! They come with crappy stock steel hardware. Within a few weeks I was having rusty blobs all over my truck with this crappy gear. It's an extra $30 or so out of my pocket but really a must have. Why did Surco put stainless steel fittings everywhere? Just weird.
