Screw covers
hard to snap in place: When installing
the screws--don't over-tighten them. You are only installing a license
plate and frame. It doesn't take a lot of torque to hold it on the
vehicle (unlike a wheel). Over-tightening of the screws distorts the
retainers and makes it very difficult to snap the screw covers in place.
Screw covers must "snap" onto the retainers or they will fall off.
When properly installed the screw covers act as a theft deterrent.
License Plate Frame
4-hole frame – 2-holes in the vehicle
When installing a 4-hole frame on vehicles with only 2 holes, use the
extra screws and nuts to secure the frame in the two unused holes and
install the screw covers. When doing this (rather than using a 2-hole
thin frame), there won’t be two empty holes showing in the license plate.
When installing a wide-bottom
frame on a vehicle that has built in TABS for the bottom of the license
plate (with only two mounting holes), work the plate behind the tabs and
the frame in front of the tabs. Be sure the plate is locked into the
tabs on the frame also.
Our ABS plastic frames have a special slot cut out to accommodate this
situation. (See photo)
Metal frames do not have the slot, but can be installed in the same
manner.
This procedure secures the plate and frame assembly top and bottom.
Installing TOP engraved frames
The adapter must be installed on vehicles that have tag mounting holes on
the top only.
Insert the nylon pieces into the square holes until they fit tightly.
Face the slotted side of the nylon pieces towards the vehicle. Place the tag
on the adapter side which faces you. Using the holes without the nylon
pieces, install the adapter and tag on the vehicle using the original
screws.
Mount the frame on the top of the state plate by sliding the frame tabs
(back side of the wide portion) behind the license plate. Attach the
frame into the nylon pieces using the enclosed hardware.
