The I assume white putty your asking about is Dicor Lap Seal. Pick up a new tube of the same stuff from any RV dealer, go to a big box store and buy a plastic scraper, go home and go to work.

Clean up the left over Dicor as best you can. Apply a generous bead of Dicor to the bottom of the new sky light, carefully place it and screw it into place. Finish up by applying a generous amount of new Dicor around the seam and screw heads. Let things dry and your good for another ten years.
