Re: Hinged rear licence plate
 

I have to beat mine flat everytime I get the oil changed. For some reason the corner gets bent up everytime. I hope someday it slices open the dudes leg as he's walking by and catching it.:mad:

Re: Hinged rear licence plate
 

My dealer runs the truck through a car wash, after service/oil changes, which is located at the dealership and this was causing my plate to bend too. This is probably how your plate is bending. I've asked that they stop washing my truck... hate machine washes, so half ass!

My plate frame is very sturty and ridged ,I noticed a few times some dirt/sand /weeds/ grass in the corners and bottom and still no damage .:jump:

I havent been through a carwash yet in 2 years.
I once used a do it yourself car wash to wash off that toxic Fla swamp mud

I either wash it at home or leave it muddy.
I just clean off door handles and flat part on steps.

Thats a good idea,but you need another hook installed.

Re: Hinged rear licence plate
 

There's no mounting points behind the bumper on that side. :( I'll have to weld a plate to the end of the frame rail like there is on the other side in order to get a functional attachment point. But I got the plate up out of the way, which was the first priority.
