Where does MAX GROSS come from?

I find it interesting (odd) that various aircraft seemed to be stamped with max gross such as 2000 lbs or 2300 lbs which does not seem to be the capability of the aircraft but an FAA certification number?

The problem is the frame is not flat in the back so there really isn't anything to adhere to. The silicone gets in the void better and can work well but it can also be a bit messy and in the end, nothing really adheres well and you can start getting separation. Lon...
