- Position License Plate: Place your license plate onto the vehicle's mounting points.
- Position New Frame: Align the Mercedes Benz Genuine License Plate Frame over your license plate, ensuring the mounting holes on the frame, license plate, and vehicle align.
- Secure the Frame: Insert the provided or existing screws through the frame, license plate, and into the vehicle's mounting points. Tighten the screws securely but do not overtighten, as this could damage the frame or vehicle.
- Attach Screw Caps (if provided): If your frame came with decorative screw caps, carefully press or screw them onto the exposed screw heads for a finished look.
- Verify Security: Gently tug on the frame to ensure it is firmly attached and does not rattle.
4. Care and Handling
While the license plate frame is designed for durability, proper care will help maintain its polished finish and extend its lifespan.
