How to Install Car License Plate Screws?
2 Answers
Below is the installation tutorial for car license plate screws: 1. After receiving the license plate, you will generally be provided with two packs of professional screws for installation. Insert the screws into the holes, rotating them as you insert. Be careful not to insert them backwards. 2. Take out the car license plate and first position it correctly by hand, ensuring the left and right distances are as equal as possible to maintain symmetry and aesthetic appeal. Make sure the four screw holes on the license plate align with the four holes on the bumper. 3. Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws. Once tightened, gently press the anti-theft caps into place. These are one-time-use anti-theft caps and cannot be removed once pressed in.
I recently installed a new license plate on my car, and it was quite simple. First, prepare the special license plate screws and a Phillips screwdriver, which usually come with the car or can be easily purchased online. Locate the mounting positions for the front and rear license plates on the car, typically small holes. Align the license plate with the holes, hold it steady with one hand, and slowly tighten the screws with the other hand until snug—but don’t over-tighten to avoid cracking the plate frame. From my experience, the whole process takes about ten minutes. Some people add anti-theft screws, which adds a few more steps but improves security. After installation, give it a gentle shake to check for stability and clean off any dust. The key is doing it yourself—it saves money and feels rewarding. If it’s not aligned properly, a small wrench can easily make minor adjustments.
