Stinkin Dealers

The stinkin dealer where I got my new honey from stripped one of the holes where my license plate goes. Any idea if it can be fixed and how?

If they did it then it's up to them to fix it.

A bigger screw ("bigger" as in larger diameter of the threads) is usually the fix. I think it's a metal screw into a plastic block if I am remembering correctly.

I would still bring it back to the dealer and have them fuss with it. Why deal with the headache if you can pass it off to someone else?

Then again, if they already damaged that part of the car, do you really want them messing around with it more trying to fix it? <_<
Having said that, though, it should be a relatively easy fix if it's the screw into a plastic block as a previous poster indicated. I'd have them replace whatever's not working right.
