/\ /\ /\ Except you can't do that with a Merc Rear Plate, or you'll destroy the expensive (and colour coded Plastic Plate Surround / Boot Lid Trim)

I Heat the Screws with a tiny Propane Torch, then pull Plate over hot screw, then it usually comes out of the Brass Thread inserts nae bovver

If only Main Dealers put a smear of Copperslip around the Screw threads before they put the Plates on eh !!

i remember when i was collecting year old cars in the 80's and the rear plates had fallen off one side because the tailgate had rotted out round the screw for a dollop of grease ,nothing changes
