How does one screw up putting plates on a car? Have the little metal thingy fall off, into the bumper and I believe is resting on top of the actual bumper, likely nestled between that and the bumper cover.

I know it will likely fall off, but it's going to bug me. Anyone have a suggestion for getting it back and reinstalling it? Or should I just knock the other one out of place and use plastic replacements and move on with my life?

 

i used the plastic gromets. the oem metal one always break and fall behind the bumper

 

Thank you, feels better knowing it's not just me.

 

its pretty common just like blown up rennys lol

 

I just drilled two new holes and put in some nutserts

 

Have to take off the bumper to access it from the back. When I took my bumper off I expoxied bolts on to it with threads sticking out of the bumper.
