Re-fitting rear numberplate

[Watts]

The person at my dealer must've had their eyes closed when they fitted my rear numberplate such is the degree of wonkiness. I'm going to re-fit it but memories of the last time keep flooding back when nothing seemed to work until I screwed it on and I don't want to do that. So what tape have others found to be successful? I've looked at some on line and reviews are either "brilliant" or "fell off" and nothing inbetween.

Thanks

Halfords double sided number plate pads - not failed me yet

Cheers Ant, those were the ones I was looking at. Perhaps it is all in the thoroughness of the preparation?

Make sure the area is as clean as possible. Use a clay bar and some tar remover to remove as much decontamination as possible

One way would be to use number plate holders or, I at one point, used velcro

Thanks Rhyso. I was considering dried weetabix as that stuff is almost impossible to remove from bowls

porridge is better I think

+1 on the Halfords double sided pads. Haven't had problems with mine since I fitted the new plates when I picked up my car.

Cheers Barry, porridge is great but I'll stick to it for my brekkie (unlike my numberplate to bumper!).

Thanks Geobog, I'll probably go with the Halfords option with plenty of prep but maybe not quite so far as claying although I do appreciate Rhyso's input.

Thank's everybody! I'll come and find you all if it falls off...
