License plate holder replacement

Hello!

We have a 13ft Scamp and love it!

We kept it with the cloth cover in our driveway. But one time, while removing the cover, the cover caught on the license plate and broke off the little black plastic tabs under the tail light that hold the license plate. We've had our license plate in our back window ever since.

Has anyone else had this problem? It broke off so easily!

I located the part (the tail light with black tabs for license plates) and ordered it on Amazon. I started to remove the original to replace it, but realized that it would require cutting into the wires to replace the part. I am reluctant to do that. The wires are extremely tight inside and I am not confident I can splice them back together.

Has anyone else had this happen? Are there alternative ways to attach the license plate? I'd hate to replace this part and have it break off again!

Thanks

Eric

That looks like a great fix,

That looks like a great fix, and I would love to do something sturdy like that. Unfortunately, I don't have holes there on mine.

I'm looking into something like this to attach under the tail light, but worried there's not enough of an angle to keep the bolts from nicking the fiberglass. It's flat and flexible.
