The rail comprises open ends extending angularly downward and adapted to rest on the ledge of the sidewall. The preferred embodiment includes a pair of oppositely disposed flanges positioned in a plane parallel to the top surface of the rail. A rib projects into the interior of the rail from a bottom inner surface of the rail along a centerline. The rail further includes a bracket configured to be received within the end of the rail for attaching the rail to the ledge. The rail may also include a plurality of spaced apart slots formed along at least one side surface of the rail.
