WTF? License plate prob
I was taking off my license plate holder tonight because I wanted to get rid of it, and then just put the license plate back on. Thought it was going to be an easy 1 minute job. As I was taking the screws off, the nuts or whatever inside the bumper just fell down INSIDE the bumper. Now I can't put the plate on...and I don't have the time tonight to try to take the whole bumper off and figure it out. Anybody know a good temporary fix?
This is retarded because when I bought the car and was screwing in my license plate for the first time this didn't happen. I did however get rear ended by an old lady, got a new bumper from the body store (Service King over here) and I guess they did something stupid enough for this to happen. And this was going to happen eventually.
I think I'm gonna go to the dealership at 7 in the morning and see if they can do anything...then try to make it to my exam at 9...#*$*&@

Good luck. I had the inverse problem with my rear plate, I couldn't get it to come off. The screw just turned and turned and turned and nothing happened. I took it to the dealer and they said that it was a very large production because you have to take the whole bumper off to get at it, and that's hours worth of labor. Fortunately, I was able to get them to do it under warranty.

It sounds like you already found this out, but you can buy at pepboys a small square plastic insert called a "license plate holder" that fits right into that square hole from the front.
