The reason I asked is because I bought my car used and the bolts in the liscense plate that hold it up were striped, I broke the end of one off. Then I took the piece out of the trunk and only discovered that there were plugs behind the bolts. If I were to drill the thing out can I get new plugs or should I just forget about it and head to the junkyard(there's a crack behind the plate). So what should I do? See Ford, drill through and get a plug, or go scrapping? Thanks in advance. '95 GL ATX Midnight Red but soon to be Black!

You drill out the old holes and RTV a plastic strip onto it. Cheap fix.

He had tonnes of them too, it felt good after going to ford and having a minor heartattack after finding out each light was 70$CDN apiece. Not a bad idea afterall, I think i'll visit the junkyard more often. '95 GL ATX Midnight Red but soon to be Black!

The pre-98 ones look an aweful lot like the ones that come on a Mystique, they are just body color though. � Jon Miconi � 96 Contour Zetec ATX � 80 Ramcharger 360 ATX � 77 Ramcharger 440 ATX
