When installing the dummy hinges on the outside of the door first make sure that you allow for the weather stripping.  Make sure that you have the hinge exactly where you want it and that it is level and square with the door.  Again, apply masking tape where you are going to be marking the door for the holes.  Tape the hinge securely to the door to prevent any movement when marking the holes for drilling with a 5/32 drill bit.  I recommend using a self centering punch for this operation.  If you don't have one mark the hole on the outermost tip and drill that one and screw it down.  Make it secure but do not over tighten it. You will have to remove this later to apply the sealant.  Drill all of the holes for all of the hinges.  Be careful not to apply too much pressure and drill though the other side.  The holes closest to the hinge side will have solid wood backing so you will have good bite there but the outermost ones only have the fiberglass and insulation backing.  I used a Dow Corning RTV sealant clear color 732 Multi-purpose sealant.  It is also a very good adhesive.  Apply this sparingly, because cleaning it off of the fiberglass door is a very tricky and time consuming operation.  (I know) You do not want any excess squeezing out from behind the hinge.  Apply this to the back of the hinge in the center.  At the outermost holes just put a small dab at the hole to seal it.  Install the screws without over tightening them.
