Anyone know how to remove the Rear License plate holder on a W215 CL? I need to replace the Screw fasteners for the License plate because they are just spinning in place and I cannot remove the plate.



It is part number 170 in the picture and when I removed the trunk lining, I seen the two bolts holding it in place, But the bolts are not the normal screw on bolts. Part 180 is labelled as a RIVETED NUT, and If the removal of it means that I need to cut the screws off from the L.Plates, I will.

Anyone have an idea on how to properly remove this so I can try and repair my License Plate screw anchors?


Thanks in Advance.
