    Thanks for the video! Helping a friend that just got this car. We took off the old plate and typical license plate bolts. They were rusted a bit, but we got them to come off. Then saw the 4 hex holes. If anything like those plastic things you put in were holding the bolts previously, they fell into the trunk dead space. NOTHING outside the trunk. Was there similar things originally in those hex holes? in the bottom right hole on your car, it looks like there was something there. But can't tell what.

    I have the same problem with my 240sx, the bolts totally rusted through and any attempt at removing them is just going to break it. Might give this a go. Thx!!

    The reason for those screws is so your plate won't get stolen as easy. very few have that tork it's a tamper prof screw.

    Wollow out you said ... so did you have to drill them
    To make them fit better ... because it’s a threaded hole for the stock bolts

    On one car the plastic was stripped out and so I simply used two small aluminum wall anchors ...the ones that thread into drywall ...after getting them started with drill I simply cut off the long "drill" tails and then screwed them in from then on I simply screw screws in.....been years now and I even remove the screws once every year to put new reg stickers on...works GREAT! totally covered by plate and frame...I advise to use the SMALLER anchors ! BTW I have NEVER used 4 screws ! Just the top two are plenty

    Get rid of that rust with a Iron fall out remover (same stuff used to clean paint and wheels) and touch up the holes with any kind of paint.

    Hi man, nice video. Just wondering if you could help me out? Could you possibly give me the measurements of the licence plate recess? I need height, width and depth? Thanks

    • @MikeUtoober

    I need this.... I have a SUV and when I got the car they screwed on my plate too tight... And it damaged the mounting.. I had to pay alot of money to remove that screw at another dealer... I'll have to get these you have because one screw is a bolt and nut holding..

    • @dougiequick1
      @dougiequick1 4 роки тому

      LOL seriously? You PAID to have dumb screws removed??? Just use pliers or vice grips to grip head and pull whileturning counterclockwise ...this ALWAYS works and only takes a minute or so of pulling ...plus the further the screw emerges the easier it becomes until you can simply use your fingers....SERIOUSLY? they charged you "a lot of money"? I would not use that dealer ever again

      Stop it from getting corroded from salt and it looks a lit better too. Along eith the sticker on the top right corner coste 110/yr and people the odd time steal stickers
