I like these cargo nets I got from Amazon and used silicone to hold them in place so they can be removed. I’d like to clean this up and permanently mount them as I have to take off the left interior panel for my ongoing condition inspection to figure out why I have so much friction in the throttle assembly.

I welcome any suggestions on what type of screws and nuts to use for this install of this net. I have two to remove and install.

I would have thought rivet nuts would be perfect for that application. Just make sure there is nothing behind that is in the way. That's easy if you are going to pull the panels anyway.
 
Thanks. I’ll explore that option.
 
If you ever fly with someone in the rear seat you should perhaps re-consider that front net position. Anything there is going to get wiped out by the passengers left foot.
 
Hasn’t been an issue but I’ll review it.
