Can anyone help me find these license plate screw covers??

I realize this is a long shot but I like to use decorative caps to cover the screws or bolts that hold my license plates on.

I am hoping that 'maybe' someone has seen the type of covers I am showing in the attached photos.

There are many manufacturers of this sort of thing like Cruiser or Snap Ap. The ones shown are NOT made by either of those companies. In fact I got them from a Mercedes dealer about 6 years ago and have been using the same set of 4 ever since on all my various cars. Recently I noticed that somehow one had fallen off and I was left with only 3.

They are very unusual in the sense that I have never seen any like them. The sides are totally straight and there is the SLIGHTEST convex curve on the top, leading to an almost 90 degree edge where it meets the side of the cover.

The bottom OD is all but 5/8" + 1/64" the overall height is all but 1/4" . The caps are made of plastic and use a nylon insert that fits under the screw head to hold them on.

The photos show the covers in question next to the more common Cruiser or Snap Ap types. You can see there is a marked difference.

I have already spent hours on the web trying to find them and have had no luck so I am tossing it out to you guys maybe someone can give me a source to look at. I did come up with a similar set but they were totally flat on the top... close but no cigar!

Thanks!

Hi Stream,

Yes I did and they are not allowed to use other parts suppliers that aren't MB. But I did contact the company that supplied them originally. I sent them photos and they said " sure we have them." Well as it turns out they sent me 2 sets that are no different than the most common ones that come from Cruiser, even though they weren't' in that package. Apparently whoever looked at the photos is sight impaired or they never looked at them at all. If they didn't want to help me they should have just said so. Now I have to send them back....<sigh>

So it's back to square one with it.

Thanks

Hi SteadyEddy,

I will look at some of the ones you mentioned, it seems the most common ones are from Cruiser, they are a dime a dozen. But I will keep looking, I know they are out there somewhere.

It's a silly thing I know but I like the look of them and I guess we like what we like

Cheers,
