If using Dicor, make sure it's self leveling.

Try it yourself, when fastening through these tapes, the adhesive climbs up the threads and encapsulates the screw head. I'm not making a judgement between Dicor and these tapes for sealing. I know what each do and there's no call on my end.westend wrote:

I hope their video works. It shows the screw driven through the tape and an aluminum trim piece.
I might even think about VHB tape and then sealant if I was doing this.
The link references Etherabond Putty Tape which is different than Eternabond used to seal seams and the like. Using some Dicor caulk under the cleat will seal it up just as well.

You would want to use Dicor sealant under the cleats: ***Link Removed***
I'd use the largest self tapping screw that fits into the holes on the cleats. Maybe 1 1/2" long but you don't want to go thru the roof so that may be too long. Something like this: ***Link Removed***
However my concern is just what do you plan to carry up there, how much does it weigh. That roof is not designed to be load bearing. And I have my doubts about how strong those cleats will be. Don't forget you are going to have the wind load to deal with besides the weight of whatever you carry. At 60 mph that wind load can be substantial.
If I was installing them on a boat I would drill thru the roof and put a metal backing plate in on the ceiling side with machine screws passing thru the roof. Not practical in this case.
