Loose number plate

Hi ya'll.

My back number plate is falling off as it seems to be held on by sticky tape underneath & not bolted to the car.

My pugs under 1 yr old so is it the dealer's responsibilty to fix it back on properly for me?

Many thanks

yup I should think so...they'd usually be bolted on

Ours was an import and the French plates were pop-riveted on. After getting them drilled out, I put a bit of primer over the bare metal where the rivets had gone in and then stuck the UK plates on with the sticky fixer things supplied by fancyplates.com. The plate was still stuck on when we sold it two years later.

TBH the sticky things are usually OK unless the plate is on a very curved surface, in which case you're better off with either a plate holder or a couple of screws.
