Default Re: Rear License Plate Rattle

Mine has rubber bumpers where the top of the plate screws in but not the bottom.

As for finding something to snap into the bottom, check a place like Pep Boys or AutoZone. You can get little rubber bumpers with a nub on the end that are used as door bumpers in some cars. They are supposed to pop into holes in the body but might be the right size for this job. I might even have some in my garage......hmmmm. Another option would be to get some self-adhesive rubber bumpers from Lowe's/Home Depot that you would stick to the back of a cabinet door or on the bottom of a lamp or piece of furniture. I know I have a couple of those but they might be too small.
