Installing rear license plate on C5
 

How do I remove the license plate outer frame cover on the rear of my 2003 C5?

If you look at an angle you can see about 1/2 inch from each corner there are plastic tabs. Get a small flat head screwdriver to push them in and it will pop out.

Perfect! Thanks for the quick reply.

Be easy, They break easy.

:iagree: On a previous C5 I ended up breaking one of the tabs by pushing a bit too hard. There will be four tabs total that hold the surround on.

I had to check a thread to find out too. of course i waited until 10:30pm to install the plate and didn't see the tabs

I felt stupid a few months ago when I put my first tag on I didn't even realize there was that bezel there. Then looked it up and was very careful defiantly don't want to break a painted part.

wow I am not gonna lie I just screwed mine in, I was like this cant be right but it worked I guess!

So glad I found this thread, this is exactly the next question I was gonna ask!!:woohoo:

:iagree: And they are expensive to buy another one ... GM has discontinued making them and if you find a dealer that happens to have one they are $105 for a plastic frame !!! :smash: ZIP products has a remanufactured frame but they seemed always be out of stock on them. :crazy:
