Great point! However, I did not actually cut out anything structural, I just cut off the random chunk of metal under the bolt hole so it looks round like the OEM rack. Also, the OEM mounting bracket has a thick strip of metal that goes over the mounting hole for added strength. The easiest solution would have been to get OEM mounting brackets for the hybrid, but I didn't think to and by the time I realized that the brackets were different the rack was already out and I couldn't go get brackets.
