Way to secure rear plate
Well my rear license plate rattles pretty loudly when my subs hit and it's gotten to the point I'm tired of hearing the plate rattle from the outside all the time. It's tight at the top but at the bottom there are no bolt holes in the stock bracket just the little tabs that holds it on. These don't hold it tight. Any ideas to get it tight so it will stop rattling against my truck? I can't stand to hear this thing rattle.

Thats what I thought about but how would you get it to stay stuck up there? Also you wouldn't happen by chance to know where I could get some foam would you? I mean I'm sure I can call around tomorrow and I will but I thought if you knew off hand it would be of great help.

or self sticking 3m tape, they have some "meat" in between so it might cut down the vibration.

dont use foam back sticky(white stuff), use the automotive trim sticky tape, they are grey wrapped in red plastic.
the foam gets old and loose the glue, not to mention they come apart unlike the automotive grade sticky thingie.
