Webhito Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Stupid question... Dealership installed the front bracket, I refused to have them install the rear one as it required to drill through the trunk. What do I need to get this working without having to damage a brand new car? Cheers! Just realized, wrong thread, should be the fusion, not the focus, sorry!

eddie eastwood Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 You could use double sided tape, get one of the good brands 3m, Gorilla or T-REX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you really need to drill through them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tape seems to be the clear winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jethro_Tull Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 Just drill some holes. The rest of the world does it without issues. Paint the exposed metal, and smear the threads of the screws with grease. You can rest ready that in prolonged hot or cold weather your plate won't go for a jolly on it's own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetta Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Don’t like the tape and sticky pads. Seen so many cars where they have come unstuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
