I've got one set of Yakima gutter mount adapters mounted on the side of my fiberglass shell. (The front rack bar is mounted on the roof of my pickup). I haven't had any problems. It doesn't leak. There is no movement...the mount is rock-solid. It sounds like your previous set-up could have been a little loose? (either the through bolts weren't sufficiently tight or the holes in the shell were little too big so it could wiggle?)
