I used a roll of grey butyl "tape" from an RV store (along with the original screws) to secure the aluminum portlight frames to the cabintop on my 1976 33-1. Note these are old style portlights, not the newer frameless acrylic(?) portlights that folks like to secure to the cabintop with Sikaflex.. Any excess butyl was easily cleaned up with a razor blade.
Tip: Cool it down to make it less sticky when working with it. I used the refrigerator but next time would try the freezer. I love butyl. If I had dentures I'd keep some in my medicine cabinet.
