The frame is made from an inverted L section steel frame member with the upper flange providing the panel attachment support portion. The cover is molded from polyurethane or rubber and encloses the upper flange. The tubular bosses extend from recesses in the surface of the cover and the recesses incorporate an annular shoulder that corresponds to the top of the tubular bosses. The tubular bosses are adapted to receive fastening pins that extend into the bosses and end below the lower surface of the upper flange.
