[RE-wrenches] Metal roofs

[Dana Brandt]

Anyone have any experience with Sunmodo's EZ Mount L-Foot for Metal Roofs
for this application?
http://www.sunmodo.com/featured-products.html

It looks like it might be a little more robust than EcoFasten's Simple
Seal.

My fear with either of these versus an adhesive is that they're reliant on
compression on the rubber for the rest of time in order to stay water
tight. It seems to me that an adhesive might still hold water better if
things loosen up a bit over the next 30 years. Eternabond has been
recommended here in the past for this. Thoughts?
