2 screws are what are holding mine down with. Phillips screw driver and 3 minutes you should be good.

I remove two screws but the frame (and attached baskup lights) is still being held on by something else

I (again) just removed the only two screws visable holding the license plate inside the frame. With them removed the frame is still tightly held to the car. No other screws are visable. The is no apparent way to get access behind the frame/plate (short of dismantling the car!). Interestly I know changed the plate 4 yrs a go, but don't remember how. Clearly must be somethign simple. Owners manual makes no mention.

:smack: I'm making the mental point to do the same. I put the plate on my car and thought it was just 2 screws? :confused: :lol:
