I just use a dab of RTV (silicone sealant) on each of the bolt heads.  Can
be a bit messy, but comes right off later if necessary.  Available at any
FLAPS.

Subject: sealing compound for skylight bolts?

After installing a new skylight on my 85 Westy I noticed water leaking from
the bolts after driving in the rain. I then reread the instructions which
said to use a "gum" sealer around the bolts. What is a gum sealer and what
have you all used for this? I sure it would have to be safe for the plastic
skylight. Any recommendations? Thanks
