Rear License Plate FRAME
 

Two Questions:

1. The two black foam adhesive strips glued to the trunk lid under where the license plate attaches. I'm thinking the foam is a good (bad) sponge for water, however I understand it's purpose not to scratch the paint.

Keep the foam on, or remove it?


2. I bought a Weathertech stainless steel license plate frame that has FOUR holes to attach the plate to the trunk. Trouble is, the trunk only has TWO screw holes (top) to attach the plate.

WHAT have you all done to make the two lower holes look like the two upper holes? My Weathertech frame came with four silver plastic caps to cover the screw heads, but since I can't use screws and caps for the two bottom holes, it's going to look a bit goofy for my OCD.

Thanks!!

superglue the plastic caps to the frame?

The foam isn't absorbent like a sponge.
Foam also stops rattles.
I still got scratches with the foam, so I used the dealer advertisement plate under the licence plate.
Lower holes just glue the caps on OR cut the heads of the screws off, glue them on, and then put the caps over them.

I do frameless. I added some foam between the frame and the paint. I also am using a black backplate that goes between the foam and the license plate.

I scrapped the foam off. Then put real 3M foam on. It's thicker. I had rusty screws, so I swapped them out for stainless.

I put foam weather stripping on the back of the plate on all my vehicles. Doesn't hold water, stops rattles and prevents scratches.
