IN SOME CASES, BEFORE THE FRONT LICENSE PLATE HAS BEEN INSTALLED INTO THE BRACKET, VERY "AGGRESSIVE" CAR WASH BRUSHES HAVE DAMAGED THE BRACKET. IT IS RECOMMNDED THAT THE FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET AND LICENSE PLATE BE INSTALLED AT THE TIME OF CUSTOMER DELIVERY, AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WASHED, AS FOLLOWS:

FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET INSTALLATION PROCEDURE:

1. SCRIBE THE FRONT FASCIA FOR LOCATION OF THE CENTER MOUNTING HOLE USING THE BRACKET AS A TEMPLATE.

2. DRILL 5.3MM HOLES THROUGH FASCIA.

3. USE 3 POP RIVETS, P/N 10125439, TO ATTACH THE BRACKET TO THE FASCIA.

4. USE ONLY THE POP RIVETS SUPPLIED, USE OF SCREWS COULD RESULT IN BRACKET SEPARATION AND/OR TEARING OF THE FASCIA.
