I just used the tip of the applicator to then spread it around so it was just a small amount there. Worked fine.

    BUT.....I don't see why you don't just use nutplates. You would have to install the windshield liner before installing the boot cowl I suppose. On the next one, that's what I think I'd do as well.

    New type will be in your new kit!

    For my windshield I used something similar to rivnuts from cardinal engineering. They worked great. They install like a rivnut and seem to have a good grip.

    Sorry for the delay in my reply. I'm not sure what part number I used. I called Cardinal engineering and told them the thickness of the metal I was working with and they sent me the correct rivnuts.
