How hard can it be to put a license plate on a Prius?

Another score for the brilliance of mechanical engineers.
Why don't they just use zinc plated screws???
Excellent!
@@justafewquestions3647 thanks
I welded another bolt to the broken piece of the bolt, after 2 to 3 weak welds, finally got the weld strong enough to rotate and unscrew the jammed bolt easily. This method has another advantage that the heat from welding will help breaking the rusty bolt from its thread.

put grease in new holes to prevent rust from coming back :)
Have the same case. Still trying with the WD-40, some heat and trying to twist from the back.
Next thing I'll do is drill the rusty "piece of head" left on the exterior part and file down the back part to two parallel sides, to try to twist it with a wrench.
Tried filing and cutting a groove in the middle of the back to use a screwdriver, but the side pieces broke.
Good luck
@@TSRGarage THANK YOU, JUST DID IT!
As I said, once agian I started with some WD40. Then had to drill out the rusty pieces of screw-heads remaining. Then filed the sides of the screw thread from the inside, to create two parallel sides. And using a variable wrench, screwed the remaining piece to the inside.
This kind of stuff gets so frustrating, than I'm now very excited about it. Thanks for the video and motivation!
I just went thru the same thing. Couldn’t get them out so I just kept drilling out and put screws in the hole thru the old screws. Got out as much as I could. Now I gotta find my anti-seize.
This is a great idea I'm going through this problem right now and I'm gonna do this instead.
The work of a real handyman ! Great job ! Part 2 will be to fill those 2 holes and repaint the whole trunk ? 😉
Thanks for making this!
Great vid - Question, Is the head of your screw completely buried in there or did you saw it off? Mine are proud, and still have the head on them
Mine were broke off slightly below flush.
YT captions 6:27 : applause 😂
My solution was to break off the cheap dealer plastic plate ring and use the clearance to cut off the bolt head with a bare hacksaw blade. Then I used a punch to drive the bolts shank through the door panel. Could also drill through it. SS bolts fender washers and nylon insert lock nuts are a pain to get started but do the trick.
👍That's one way to do it. I mean, all it has to do is hold a license plate on
My prius had earlier round sheet metal nylon insert nut tacked to panel. Yours looks like they beefed up the nut size and made it square to get wrench flats on. Which is even worse. So your bolt head twisted off leaving the nut/stud mess on the back. Probably easiest to leave rusted fasteners alone and leave old plate on and rivet new plate right over and to the original.@@TSRGarage

Sir that's too much work for me I gotta take it to someone 😥
👍true
Dont keep me in suspense. How much were you quoted for replacing the entire hatch door panel and reassenmly? At least this poor schmuck had a square backing nut - mine are the earlier rounded variety. Looks like a rivet is the way to go. At least you can drill out the head of those. HINT HINT TOYOTA.
He's unscrewing it incorrectly with the vise, he needed to come straight out with the vise. He's placing an angled pressure on the screw, that's why it broke. How is the screw initially removed? with a screwdriver straight out, that's how the vise grip needed to be used.
Thank you for the input. I have many other videos on my channel for you to critique. 👍 th-cam.com/play/PLHUWidjJ9X6T26LVBPT5fL7DovFXzloVb.html&si=9fax4NxpLYxLLcwm
Nice job
Thanks!
Nice video
Use anti-seize and stainless steel bolts !
@@RobertMOdell 🤔 If only someone had told the previous owner this.......
Is the last thing you did is a thread maker?
Yes, a tap
@@TSRGarage Can you please give me a link where I can buy this?
@@MdMainuddinJU just search "tap and die set" on Amazon....
Thanks for putting this video together. Looks like I'm going through the same "easy" fix. Your video is really helpful!! Thanks!
What size was the tap on this Toyota?
How do you prevent this from happening again?
A little bit of anti-seize or grease on the bolt threads.
buy new cars
Use a rivet and skip the threading part.
Hey that's funny - except for retirees living on a fixed income.@@jcrockett870
@@jcrockett870- this happens on new cars as well. I just went through this with mine.
