 I am putting an almost stock skylight kit (not a double walled dome) on a stock westy roof that has
the raised area for a skylight, but no skylight in it.

  The original skylight seal normally goes onto a molded-in raised lip on
the Westy roof.  It acts as a dam or gutter to keep water out.
Especially
standing water like snow or ice in the winter.  The seal needs to be
silicone-glued to be able to exclude all water from
coming in past it, or
even blowing under it while driving.  I'm not sure what skylight you're
using, or what roof your trying to put it
on, if it's not all stock Westy.?
