Rear licence plate mounting??

[Firetech51j]

How does the rear plate mount without destroying the rear bumper cover over time? I looked online and cant find any aftermarket solutions to this. All thats on the car are 2 screw holes, allowing the plate to sit there and chatter on the paint. Any suggestions?

put a rubber mat between the plate and your car. Just cut it to the same size as the plate.

A small swatch of bubble wrap under the bottom half of the plate preloads the plate to damp vibration. Works on my wife's Accord.

The dealer usually gives you a license plate frame and i put the between the car and plate

I like to use a rubber washer between plate frame and paint. Rubber washer absorbs vibrations and leaves plate away from paint for water and shit to just run behind plate without issue.

I've done this in the past as well. A good idea.

Just buy you a 2013 or 2014 and it has a NICE PLATE AREA with plastic
and 4 dimples for the screw holes. Just drill SMALLER than the screws.

I hate the rear of the 15 and do not understand WHY Ford did not put
a plate area for the USA and different for EXPORT. It looks unfinished
to me.

Or line the back with adhesive felt. But I really like that rubber washer idea. Fully isolates it from the paint.

Small rubber bumpers for bottom of speakers or cabinet doors, sold at hardware stores.

Use the stick on rubber legs or maybe stick on felt pads on the back of the plate... it should help, the felt would probably easier on the paint, but both are better than the bare metal.
