That's definitely sound advice with this anchor material. Last edited by SoCal 370Z; 02-07-2009 at 04:23 PM. |

Okay well I just failed miserably. I found the correct size bit, drilled it out, put the clips on the plastic piece that the actual plate attaches to, and inserted the white plastic anchors. But they would not take the screws, they just spun freely. So I tried to pull the white plastic anchors out with needle nose pliers and they both broke into several pieces with the "nut" broken off inside the bumper with not way to get it out.
I guess this very difficult DIY is too much for me, so I'll just take it to the dealer and have them install it properly when I get my first oil change. Thanks again for the help. |

Sorry to hear that...
Pushing Tin,
I am sorry to hear matters did not transpire as they should have. Was the drill bit you used sharp as a dull bit typically oblongs the hole? No matter, as we have no intention of using our front license plate, and if you want our white anchors I will send them to you—free from charge, whereby we can get your project finished with Nissan parts. Let me know in a private PM (this offer only holds for Pushing Tin, I ask that others do not PM me about the rest of the license plate holder parts as they will be tucked away should we sell the vehicle). I will also, ever so slightly, take off just enough material forming two sides so that you can hold it with an adjustable wrench to get matters started and cinch the back of the toggle where it needs to be. |

Use the following steps to mount the license
plate: Before mounting the license plate, confirm that the following parts are enclosed in the plastic bag. . License plate bracket . J-nut 6 2 . Screw 6 2 . Screw grommet 6 2 1. Park the vehicle on flat, level ground. Locate the two dents*A on the front bumper. Carefully drill two pilot holes using a 0.39 in (10 mm) drill bit. (Be sure that the drill only goes through the bumper fascia.) 2. Insert grommets into the hole on the bumper fascia. 3. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver into the grommet hole to add 90 turn onto the part *B . 4. Make sure the side end surface of the license plate bracket is aligned with the bumper*C . 5. Insert a J-nut into the license plate bracket before placing the license plate bracket on the fascia I believe no.3 is why the white things turned , when the screw was inserted! I can't get the picture to copy from the manual!!!!
