+1I have a Gamiviti rack and it was recommended to use DAP Dynaflex Ultra...no leaks and super easy to use!

Might be late too late on this one but I would not recommend that. Locitite is literally the root cause of any/all "nuts fell into the roof" stories that you hear about. Specifically one bolt gets removed, then the other gets twisted, and the path of least resistance is the whole nut carrier thing popping free and spinning, rather than the bolt coming loose. the way to avoid the issue is alternate between the 2 bolts on each tower, back them out evenly then it's never been an issue. But your new bolts will be under load from a rubber sealing washer, surrounded by some type of sealant, they really shouldn't magically back out somehow.I’m planning on using Loctite blue threadlocker for the bolts to prevent backing out.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
Thanks for your advice, especially the video you posted on YouTube regarding removing the bolts. I did end up using the blue locktite on the new screws, and I guess this is down to paranoia from when I used to race bikes. Obviously track conditions are more demanding than the street but considering the process you outlined in the video worked so well I was ok with re-applying the threadlocker.Might be late too late on this one but I would not recommend that.
