Thanks. but what can be done to keep the Velcro attached?

Should I use a solvent to remove ALL the old glue?  Should it be sanded?
How can I avoid damage to the surrounding area if a solvent is used?

I'm sure many of you have had this issue. I replaced the Velcro around the
skylight, so as to better hold up the Mosquito Screen W/Fabric Cover.  Well,
the self stick Velcro comes loose over time, especially when hot out.  I'm
looking for suggestions on type of glue to better secure the Velcro, or
maybe an optimal solution to resolve this issue.

By the way, does anyone know where I can get the proper covers for the
bolts?

Thanks for your suggestions!
