How to Remove the Front License Plate Holder on a Chevy

License plates are required accessories on vehicles. Certain states, particularly western states, require both front and rear license plates. Auto accessory manufacturers have many different styles of license plate holders available to the public. Many motorists like to display their favorite football team, political affiliation, college alma mater or other interest on their license plate holder. Installing and removing license plate holders on a Chevy is as simple as attaching or removing the license plate itself.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Locate the rivets or screws securing the license plate holder to the vehicle. Normally there are two or four screws holding it in place at the corners of the holder.

2. Determine the type of screwdriver needed to remove the screws. It should commonly be either a flat-head or Phillips-head screwdriver.

3. Turn the screws counterclockwise to remove them. Remove all the screws and the license plate and holder should come off together.

Tips & Warnings

• Turn your vehicle off and put it in park, with the emergency brake on, prior to removing the license plate holder.
