I just bought a car with the front license plate bracket attached. I took off the bracket and bought the covers for the holes. When I tried pushing the covers on, it just moved the screw holes in the back away...the screw holes from the back side just went in and I cant seem to access them from the back.

Any ideas? Thanks!

 

Take the front bumper cover off, its really pretty easy to do.

 

If you can't see the golden-colored screw holes in the bumper, then they fell into the bumper. The threads are held on the backside of the bumper with weak pins.

Your options:
1. Silicone glue your bumper plugs to the bumper
2. Take off the front bumper, find the screw holes, reattach them to the backside of the bumper, reinstall the front bumper, then put in your bumper plugs.

I did option #2 a few weeks ago.

Really
