That argument has been going on for years. I use a torque wrench when tightening lug nuts, and have applied a paint line across the lug nut and stud, to indicate if the nut has had any movement. This method makes sure the nuts stay tight, and upon removal, everything comes apart as intended.
The OP suggests being cautious, which I am in total agreement with. However, as with anything you purchase, it's a roll of the dice. Even though Uncle Sugar buys from the lowest bidder, the parts are still manufactured to his specs.
The knurles gave it away as a starter bolt. Drill it and use an easy-out to back the broken piece out. Don't bust the easy-out off, then you have to drill it with a carbide drill and use heli-coil, and then find the exact length bolt. Don't ask me how I know about the heli-coil part...good luck.
How much longer do you need to hang onto a drill after it starts burning through the handle to get burned? :roll: You would think the smoke and the smell of molten plastic would be a clue something was about to go terribly wrong, and to let go. :roll: Cue the lawyers.
Place the nozzle on the cowl as far as possible away from the windshield, toward the hood. DO NOT place it where the instructions tell you to, the pattern it sprays will only catch the extreme lower corners on the windshields. Do not ask why I have one extra hole in my cowl.
