Roof attachment with integrated sealant

A roof attachment apparatus comprising:

• a mount;
• a sealant disposed on an underside of the mount;
• and
• one or more resilient flexible members configured to support the mount above an installation surface, wherein the resilient flexible members extend below a bottom surface of the sealant so as to prevent the sealant from touching the installation surface prior to being compressed, and wherein the resilient flexible members allows the sealant to contact with the installation surface when compressed.

A roof attachment apparatus comprising:

• a mount that includes a base and one or more walls extending from the base, the walls forming a box;
• a protective cover configured to engage with the mount;
• and
• a sealant disposed on an underside of the base, wherein the sealant is compressed when the mount is allowed to traverse relative to the engaged protective cover, and wherein the compressed sealant flows into a space beyond the protective cover.

A method of installing a roof attachment, the method comprising:

• placing a roof attachment onto an installation surface, wherein the roof attachment is positioned such that a sealant is disposed between a bottom surface of the roof attachment and the installation surface;
• installing a fastener that engages with an installation surface, wherein the fastener attaches the roof attachment to the installation surface when engaged with the installation surface;
• and
• imparting a force based on the engagement between the fastener and the installation surface, wherein the force compresses the sealant onto the installation surface, and wherein the compressed sealant occupies a volume of space between the installation surface and the roof attachment.

A roof attachment apparatus comprising:

• a mount;
• a protective cover;
• one or more stop-tabs configured to prevent the mount from traversing relative to the protective cover based on a resilience of the stop-tabs;
• and
• a sealant disposed between the mount and the protective cover, wherein the sealant has a viscosity that prevents flow beyond the protective cover prior to being compressed and flows through the protective cover when the sealant is compressed by traversal of the mount relative to protective cover after the resilience of the stop-tabs are overcome.
