How to Install New License Plates?
2 Answers
Method for installing new license plates: After receiving the license plates, there is usually a pack of secure screws included. Take out the screws, insert them into the anti-theft caps while rotating, then position the license plate correctly. Align the screws with the four gaps on the bumper and secure them with a Phillips screwdriver. After tightening, cover the anti-theft caps and press them gently into place. License plates, commonly known as vehicle plates, are panels hung on the front and rear of a vehicle. They are typically made of aluminum, sheet metal, plastic, or paper, and display the vehicle's registration number, registration region, or other relevant information. License plates serve to number and record information for each vehicle, allowing identification of the vehicle's region of registration and enabling the lookup of the vehicle's owner and registration details based on the plate.
I just got my new car's license plates installed yesterday, and the process was quite straightforward. First, prepare the license plates issued by the DMV along with the matching anti-theft screws, and make sure to check if the number of screws is correct. Locate the pre-drilled holes for the plates on the front and rear of the car, align the plates properly, and hold them in place by hand to prevent tilting. Use a Phillips screwdriver to tighten the screws from the outside in, but avoid applying too much force to prevent stripping. Finally, cover the screws with the anti-theft caps and gently tap them to ensure they are fully secured. The whole process took about 20 minutes. Be careful not to obstruct the white border lines on the license plate, as this is explicitly prohibited by traffic regulations. After installation, shake the plates to check for stability, and be especially cautious of water entering the screws and causing rust during rainy drives.
