I went on a search today to get the screws to attach my license plate to my 2001 A4. I think I heard more often then not "Boy, I've never seen anything like that before." The threads are so shallow I can't find anything that fits quite right. One suggestion was to just go through the sheet metal. I figure I can have been the only one with this problem.

 

nope...your not the only one.... my plates only came bolted on with 2 screws...so everytime i closed the trunk, it'd rattle.....and being the picky a$$**le i am....i had to go out and find some more.......and i could not find ANY that matched....the ones i'm using now are almost a match...but the heads are slightly too small.
probably the hardest thing to find...

 

The dealership! They didn't even charge me for mine!

 

Mine came with the license plate frame

 

Perhaps I can try the dealer. It's a matter of distance. They might be happy just to stick their on plate frame on the car. I usually take those things off as I don't like to be free advertising for the dealer.

 

Yo VitaminB6, nice ride man

 

It took me longer to put on my license plate than it took my to install my indash DVD. I kept thinking i had the wrong threads[sm=headbang.gif]

Thanks

 

I bought some from a VW dealer.

 

Oh good idea, there is one close by. As I was poking around the insides of the car I noticed a few VW stickers on parts.
