Well' I've had the '97 since new and for the first time I have to change the rear license plate.

I would appreciate any help on how to get the old plate out from behind the black frame and the new one in. It's probbaly simple, but I'm stumped.

There are four tabs (2 in the left, 2 on the right)

You can take a large, flat screw driver (cover it with a towel) and press the tab. Pull the nearest corresponding corner of plastic frame away from the car. You don't have to press too hard.

I use my index finger and push it it with the opposite hand. The frame's corner pops off, I go to the next one.

Never worry about asking questions ... we're all here to learn.
