Default Re: Rear License Plate Mounting

These two holes are "rather delicate" as the fascia that they are drilled into is just plastic....when I went to tighten the license plate screws, the screw threads just stripped-out and now I either put in larger diameter screws or figure out some other way to attach the plate. Has anyone dealt with this "annoying problem" before and is there a more secure way to mount the rear plates? Thanks.
I had the same problem and solved it rather barbarically but simply by the use of plated #8 wafer head self tapping screws.
