If you mean the rails on top of the sliding window, those rails are made
of plastic, and they are glued on. Don't think you want to put any loads
on them. There is a small fiberglass ridge under the rails, but I don't
know how you would attach anything to that.
In the old Con-Ferr catalog, they use rubber well nuts in install
brackets on the shell so you don't have to access from the inside.
