rear lisence plate mount??
I got an 02 se about a week or so ago and when I went to mount the new plate the plastic threaded parts where the screws go in seem to be loose. I can only thread in the screws a short way before the threaded part just spins. so the plate is pretty damn loose and rattles bad. any ideas, or is there a common fix for this? thanks guys

Get new receivers or use a thicker screw? They're just plastic...

yeah, just wasnt sure if it was common or anything. hoping I can get the screws back out to replace the inserts. how are they supposed to stay in there securely without rotating as you turn the screws?

Not behind the plate. Inside the trunk.
