Repurr 3 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Hi,One of the rear number plate bolts (which secure the number plate holder to the car) has corroded so much that the number plate holder is loose. Have read another posting about the challenges of removing the bolts, grinding, touching up etc.Does anyone have any other ideas to try first before using the grinding method?Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Why not just get rid off the holder and use double sided sticky pads too the car? Link to post Share on other sites
Repurr 3 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I am looking to do that, wanted to find an easyish way to remove the bolts? Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Take the interior panel off the boot and grip the bolt with mole grips and try to unscrew it from the inside Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ah ok. I must have misread. Yeah try mole grips as above. Link to post Share on other sites
