Issues with front license plate holder For 2026MY Premium
Warning about great looking ModelY License Plate Cover. Wanted to love this. Easy to install, looked great, seemingly solid. Yet, it fell off and was lost with my new license plate of 10 days after installation in a car wash. Discovered it was gone about an hour after being home. Went back to the car wash. They looked twice inside car wash and could not find it. They even acknowledged seeing it on their cameras as car was being cleaned. Here's the kicker. I had an M3 for 4 years without losing the front license holder using the mfg double sided tape stick-on holder (I always expected it to fall off, but it held for 4 years in all kinds of weather and multiple car washes). I cranked down the installation screw tight on the Alloy plate cover and wrote to the distributor today. Not looking for a refund, but an explanation about what might have happened. Downside, I had to replace my one remaining license plate since the lost one might turn up on a stolen car or worse, be part of an accident. I will be going back and using the double-sided tape license plate cover provided by Tesla. (not very impressive, but it works!) But I will wait until it is a bit warmer before installing. If you buy this product, be sure to figure out how to secure the plate so it doesn't come off.
