Mounting Sat Dome to Fiberglass Roof

Question

I am replacing my old KVH sat dome with a Winegard In motion dome.

The new dome has 12 screws to fasten it to my fiberglass roof.

The old dome had 32 rivets holding it onto the roof.

Question:

What method did you use to mount a Sat Dome to your fiberglass roof?

Idid much the same and used 6 short screws. Two on each forward mount and one on each rear mount with plenty of sealent under the mounts.

My KVH had about 8 or 10 mounting tabs. I used 1 1/2" screws, right into the roof. Works perfect.

Seal the old mount holes. I use standard Dicor rubber roof sealant and put a glob under each foot and drive the mount screws thru. The Dicor acts as a sealant AND Glue to hold the dome firmly in place. Doug

Thanks to all responding.I guess I worry too much about the wind pressure sending the 23 lb dome aloft or moving around enough to cause leaks.Screws and Dicor will be used.I keep trying to make things difficult, that is why I ask for help....:o
