Hi all,
Yes, its the remove those horrid Tesla Reg Plate Holders post!
Ok, I removed the rear bracket altogether on new MY, stuck the plate directly to the car using hook and lock 3M velcro (used exact same stuff with my previous M3, never budged for 3 years and was super difficult to take off even after that time).
Removed the first part of the front holder and decided to use same velcro but stick the plate directly to the rear part of the holder, which looked absolutely fine and was stuck on good and proper. Anyway, pulling off the drive this morning and the bugger fell off. Upon examining why this happened, all 4 pieces of velcro adhesive failed on the backing bracket part, not the plate itself.
Thinking why this happened (as this stuff is ridiculous strong), can only think that the recent hot weather we've had may have melted the adhesive perhaps and weakened it, or maybe this stuff just doesn't like sticking to plastic?
Long story short, now exploring different options for front plate. Know there's a lot of guys go down the vinyl stick on plate for the front but is there any other recent successful and sufficient ways of doing it?
Would like to hear some ideas and solutions.
Thanks.
