It's not uncommon and the screws are meant to pull out like this so a 
mishap doesn't damage the cabin top. The stays are what keeps the mast 
upright. the tabernacle basically stabilizes it.

There's lots in the archives. Basically you fill the holes, make sure 
it's waterproof, redrill, reset the screws and you're done.

Best wishes.

Mary Lou

Mary Lou's advice is, of course, sound.  If you'd like a little more guidance, I'd suggest a search of the archives.  Go to  https://www.rhodes22.net/email-search.html , put 'tabernacle repair' in the 'All of these words' box at the top, and in the 'Search for matches in' area near the bottom check 'Post Subject' and 'Post Original Text'.  Then click on 'Search'.  You should get about 50 hits.  Not all will be relevant, but there should be some good info in there.

Also, Jamestown Distributors or Defender customer service should be able to help with advice and product recommendations.
