Our rear license plate was ripped out last summer and I am trying to find the clips that go in the now vacant holes on the back.

Does anyone know where I can find some?

Thanks!

Jared,

Any autoparts store will have them. Unfortunately, I have forgotten the exact size, but if you read all of them the choice is pretty obvious.

Ours got ripped loose in a violent wind on the way to Kentuckiana/Amana. That worked out OK because it started me looking at an authentic plate.

Thanks Matt.  I'll take a look at AutoZone today.

I got my new plates in the mail today and now have 1 spare.  If it happens again, I'm forgoing the plastic and bolting them on.  :-D

Jared;
I had the same problem, I used rubber "nut-certs" that I found
at Ace hardware. These made the holes water tight and fit
the ragged hole. I bought 1/4" 20 stainless screws.
