How to remove rear number plate

[glon]

Hi! -

someone has clearly tried to pull off the rear number plate on my Taycan while it was parked in the street, they didn’t manage but have bent it a tiny bit so I’d like to unscrew it and bend it back into shape before reattaching it.

does anyone know how I unscrew the rear number plate please? I can’t find it anywhere online so thought one of you might have an idea.

thanks loads if so!

Rear plate size differs per country so its entirely dependent on the holder you have in place. For instance mine does not use screws at all to hold the plate, you just lift the edge with sufficient force from one side.
The holders are not porsche specific, check online what type of solutions are available in you country and its likely similar that your local dealer has installed.

Ok, thanks! I’d assumed the attachment was universal/part of the car but what you say makes sense as countries have different shape plates. Thanks!

Are you sure your number plate is screwed on, cos if you can’t see the two screws, then I’m pretty sure the plate will be affixed using adhesive pads, in which case it’s a matter of carefully prizing the plate off…..using a hairdryer to warm the plate helped in my case.

Yeah, it’s like this (see picture

Then all you’ve got to do is pop off the plastic caps, and underneath are the screw heads.

Ah, amazing, thank you! I’d assumed the screw was from behind but this makes sense. Thanks again!

Yes it is very country dependent. My number plate would require me to drill out the fastener. They are fastened with pop rivets in France. Can’t have it that you easily stick on false number plates, can we??
