In various representative aspects, the present invention relates generally to a system and apparatus for sealing a structural attachment to a flat or shingle roof. More specifically, the invention relates to providing the system for sealing structural attachments for solar panel mounts for rail guides. The invention utilizes an adhesive sealant to create a permanent watertight seal at any surface penetration. The system may be used for any structural attachment, fastener, mount, or other penetration that requires sealing. Typical building applications include roof penetrations and wall penetrations for cases such as roof vents, structural attachment, conduit or pipe penetrations, or electrical mounts to name a few.

1. An apparatus for sealing structural attachments to a structure comprising: a. a mount comprising: i. a base that conforms to the shape of the surface of the structure, the base comprising an internal cavity further comprising at least one concave section: 1.wherein the at least one concave section forms an external cavity, the external cavity further comprising a base;ii. a port hole coupled to the internal cavity that is accessible from an outer surface of the mount;iii. a vent coupled to the internal cavity that is accessible from the outer surface of the mount;iv. a bolt further comprising a head and a shaft extending from the head;v. an opening through the external cavity of the at least one concave section configured to receive the bolt for securing the mount to the structure, wherein the shaft of the bolt passes through the volume of the internal cavity and the head resides on the base of the external cavity;vi. a U-shaped guide comprising a pair of vertical members, the vertical members extending from the at least one concave section forming an aperture that is configured to secure a solar panel mounting rail guide to the mount wherein each vertical member further comprising a front side and a rear side. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the front side of the pair of vertical members further comprise ridges. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the port hole is configured to receive a liquid from a liquid delivery apparatus. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the vent is configured to expel the liquid through the vent when the liquid delivery apparatus fills the internal cavity with the liquid. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the port hole is configured to receive a liquid sealant material. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the internal cavity is configured to expel a liquid through the vent when the internal cavity is filled with the liquid received through the port hole. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the rear side of each of the vertical members further comprises a horizontal member extending substantially perpendicular from the vertical members. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein the horizontal members are rounded, and their respective axes are coincident with an axis of the aperture formed by the vertical members. 9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the rear side of each of the vertical members further comprises a plurality of linear wedge-shaped grooves that extend radially along the perimeter of the U-shaped guide. 10. An apparatus for sealing structural attachments to a structure comprising: a. a mount comprising: i. a base that conforms to the shape of the surface of the structure, the base comprising an internal cavity;ii. a port hole coupled to the internal cavity that is accessible from an outer surface of the mount;iii. a vent coupled to the internal cavity that is accessible from the outer surface of the mount;iv. a bolt comprising a head and a shaft extending from the head;v. an opening through the base configured to receive the bolt for securing the mount to the structure;vi. a generally U-shaped guide extending upward from the base comprising a pair of vertical membersvii. at least one concave section comprising a base, the concave section being contiguous with the generally U-shaped guide wherein the shaft of the bolt passes through the volume of the internal cavity and the head resides on the base of concave section.
