Hello everyone, So today I noticed that my Jeep was missing something when I parked.  Now I need a bit of help on what to do, should I just try remounting it in the same spot or is there another location that people would suggest so I don't lose another plate? Or a brand of mount to use that secures pretty well and what should I do about them holes in the bumper? Oh and this was due to hitting a large puddle. Which makes me sad as it was only a puddle that caused the damage. |

Go snag a pair of plastic license plate mounts from a local automotive shop. I think I got a set at Autozone for like $10. They enable you to put screws in all four holes of your license plate and then screw it to the bumper in the factory holes. Little things are pretty durable. I hit the remnants of an 18 wheeler's blown tire on the highway at about 65 mph and it only cracked a bit, but it kept my license plate intact and attached to my bumper. Sent from my iPhone |

It shouldn't be an issue. Worst case scenario, you could get two larger diameter screws at your local hardware store. This was my solution when I got into a skid in my old Dodge Shadow and took the front license plate bracket off in a snowbank. The next day I invested in two screws and a set of real snow tires! (I was living in New Hampshire at the time.) |
