rear license plate holder screws
 
Ordered a new rear license plate holder from Crevier and it did not come with the machine screws to hold the plate to the holder. I didn't think this was a big deal since I had the old ones, but they seem to be too short?! Did they change the design on this too? Can I get some from the dealership or is it worth it to try Home Depot or something?

You can't be serious about this question..........:rolleyes:

:) I know i can get some screws, just wondering why the hell they changed the design.

Well in all honesty they may not have. I believe the top screws are a different length from the bottom which calls for the user to find out what works with the original plate holder. Those screws if placed properly would prevent the user from screwing them in so tight that they go thru and bite the paint. If you buy a new or different or upgraded plate then the screws may not fit.

Just go and buy some new ones........

i had this issue a few weeks ago, I went to my local dealer because I was already there for something else and was too lazy to make a trip to home depot, they looked up the size and just gave them to me, retail cost though is something like .87 cents...

I needed two licence plate screws when I changed plates on one of our vehicles recently. I took one sample with me to the local building store (Home Depot was another 2 km away). I matched the diameter and thread pitch. I bought stainless steel machine screws. I think they cost $.18 each. That is less than we all spent on bandwidth reading this thread.

Sheesh.
