Actually they would just have to remove the whole assemlby with the licence plate light and take it FAR AWAY from the car and disassemlbe.

gosh, It seems you'll are makling a mountain out of a mole hill. I just notched my plate at the top with a pair of tin snips and redrilled the holes. The whole project could have not taken as long as it took to type this thread. I used a short bolt inserted from the back side and an acorn nut on the plate side to dress it up.

hey roushac, why defend backdraft so much? Come on.... I read about all of these nitpick b/s problems and my point is they should'nt be there. You would not expect these type of problems on your BMW, Porche, Ford, Dodge...and if they did occur, you wouldn't be "fixin em yerself!". My standards of quality are quite reasonable, but when I spend alot of $$, I expect a little more and these are b/s problems. (Mass produced car or Hand built...doesn't matter). Backdraft should hear that some people are disappointed. and they still have not corrected this problem! what a joke! need the dimensions of a US license plate? LOL LOL!! great excuse! You have been breathing too many fumes!!
Tell it like it is....

thanks for all the good ideas, i didn't mean to make everyone mad. after reading all the posts i think backdraft should step up and correct the problem. like was said earlier any other car would be back at the dealer for the fix and the customer would be pretty angry for the bad engineering of the part

I "defend" them because they produce a good product at a reasonable price. If they were "perfect", they would cost a lot more, don't you think?

I wish that the world were a perfect place, but it is unfortuately not. To get by in life, one has to learn to deal with those imperfections, not just P&M about them.

Cheers!
