Mounting the Rear License Plate

[StackingSats0130]

Hi all...

Went to mount the new plate I got from the state.. went to remove the temp plate with my screwdriver.. screws just spun. Pulled out with my hands.

Now trying to put on the template, screws just fall out of the holes... There's nothing to mount a plate to, just the two holes.. any advice for a Kia noob?

I just checked mine - machine screws. So
1) too small a screw used by dealer
2) stripped threads - bigger problem

sounds like they used the wrong size screw. I had some stainless steel screws left over from something else. I used them and some anti seize on the threads. I used the silicone license plate holder.

Dealership installed ev6 screws... Got the right ones, worried like a champ. Thanks all!
