Druzey, its easy. Just take 4 lag bolts or big wood screws and drive them into the roof deck (plywood usually; unless you have tiles - then forget it...). Try your best to have at least 2 of them driven into a rafter or truss. You don't need to drill anything - just start the bolt or screw with a good whack from a hammer. Put plenty of silicone caulking around the 4 holes as you drive the bolt or screw home. Then, like the swampster sez, completely seal around the base with more caulking. To be really anal you can also cover the bolt/screw head with still more caulking.

I think I see a naughty word in that last sentence...2 demerits and go stand in the corner...or else.."Bailiff!!Whack his peepee!!!"
HARHAR!!!!!
