Agreed. I used loctite PL S30 Roof and Flashing caulk. its apparently urethane thats around that magic shore A30 number and very easy to find cheaply.

1 tube will do a set of mounts. it does take a long time to cure/dry. Mine took about 2-3 weeks, but its cheap.

I did them on my grey car and blue car.
Makes minimal difference in vibration but definitely stiffens the mounts up a lot!
