Front cap insulation, step 1

I noticed that my front closet would be HOT in the summer, strong sunny days and COLD in the winter. So I took a look inside and discovered that my insulation has fallen down, 1st picture below. I am almost done fixing the problem. I will post my experience and results later.
But my first step is to show how I gained access to the back of the nose cap.
I installed two 4 inch boat inspection hatches.
I first cut out a hole so it would fit snug.
I then marked were the screws would be needed to secure the inspection hatch.
I then glued wood behind the cedar board.
I then drilled pilot holes and mounted the hatch up.
Note: I chose white inspection hatches. Also the 12oclock positioned screw did need backing as there is a wood brace from the factory there.
