Rear numberplate platic strip

Postby terry randall » Tue 04.05.2010, 17:44

The black plastic under the rear numberplate behind the perspex warps due to poor gluing and i guess direct sunshine on it. Does any one know of a cure to flatten it and keep to it flat ?

I gave up with mine and got the later style non-greenhouse type fitted. Much better. And now no getting tugged by the police for a fogged over number plate - as if I could do anything about it when it went like that :roll:

I got mine bonded by a windscreen company using their adhesive to bond in windscreens, seems to have worked so far.
