No it needed new holes...they were of different centers, but some fell into the old ones.
This is actually the 3rd rub rail going on this boat.
1st one was the black, 2nd one the white, and the 3rd being the newer style with the insert.
I siliconed all the old ones and drilled new ones.
The beak and corners needed alot of heat to bend around them.
The insert was dunked in a can of 160* water which helped big time pushing it in with a 2" putty knife.
