Installing Hardtop Roof Garnish Mouldings (aka ski rack attachments)

I'm completely restoring my hardtop and I've decided to add the roof garnish mouldings (aka ski rack attachments). I'm trying to find out what material or compound I should use to seal the holes that are drilled to secure the mouldings to the hard top. The last thing I want to see is water stains on my new headliner...
Thanks!

I plan to install the rail on my roof. I plan to fill the bolt hole top and bottom (outside and inside the roof) with silicon caulk. Then, when I tighten the rail mounting bolt, the caulk will fill all the little cracks.

Gernold suggested a urethane adhesive made by Wurth. He hasn't had any issues (leaks) and this material seems to hold up well over time.
