Removing number plates

General Discussion Forums MX-5 Chat

 Just getting the new plates made for our MK3, the front one is screwed on so easy to do but the rear one is stuck on. Think it has been put on at the dealers with double sided tape but tried to remove it and it is stuck solid.

Does anyone have any ideas for removing the plate as I don’t want to damage the surrounding area. I don’t mind breaking the old plate if I have to but not keen on too much force.

 

Cheers

Hairdryer! (Surely every MX-5 owner has one…)

Fishing line or dental floss, then a bit of work to remove the tape left…

 Thanks for the info…the wifes hair drier did the trick, gently heated it while pulling on the plate. Came away easy…
