Can you post a pic of the area where the rubber block touches the top.
The picture I posted was of my top BEFORE I moved the rail rearwards a bit. If that block touches the top, it will wear right through the vinyl within a couple months. That's what happened to mine. Thankfully I caught it in time before it did anymore damage. I looked at TheAlien's install, and his rails are more forward than mine were, so unless he moved them back, he will be into the same damage. There needs to be clearance.
