License plate rattling

Hi,

My license plate rattles when going down the road. I have a 2017 model. Only the top 2 screw holes are available on the car, so the bottom is not secure. I've added stick on pads to the bottom, that helped a little but still an annoying noise.

Anyone else solve this?

Thanks!

Re: License plate rattling

my 2012 has stick-on pads behind the plate. If that doesn't work then maybe try some Alien tape or something that Phil Swift is selling :lol:

Re: License plate rattling

Yea I have the stick on pads already, helps a little but still annoying rattle...

I will try the Alien tape, never tried that stuff before, that should work I think.

Thanks!

Re: License plate rattling

I bent my plate outwards a bit on the bottom center. Still moves around but at least isn’t hitting anything now.
