rear lisense plate

:
'02 red MP5
i don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the mount for my lisense plate is only mounted on the top, so it rattles really bad especially when i close the hatch. its been really bugging me. i went out and got one of those Bell ones that every place has but it didn't line up w/ the existing holes correctly and i didn't wanna drill new holes.
thanks
 
Yeah, mine is the same. It used to bother me but I got over it. I thought about using double sided foam tape on the bottom, but I never tried it.
 
i took my license plate holder off and drilled new holes in my license plate

I just put some rubber tape kinda stuff on the back of mine, it was annoying as hell with my subs on.
 
I also used the foam tape and have a zoom zoom license plate frame that holds the bottom of the plate still.

Now I need to tackle my wing and bumper and stop them from rattling.

Yeah, please don't drill holes in your car. Drill the plate first as stated above. When I bought my car the previous owner made some DIY brackets to fit the existing holes in the car and then the plate mounted onto the bracket. I should post some pics of it. Only mod I did to them was prime and paint them so they wouldn't rust. I made mine "hover" off of the back hatch with some washers so it doesn't rattle, and it doesn't strike the paint when I close the hatch.
