Number plate screws

[Arnie013]

Right. Noticed today when washing the car that the rear number plate is wobbly. So I thought I'd tighten it up. Except it's held on with these weird screws that don't actually screw. I've tried screwing them but they just spring back to the original position. Even took the interior boot trim off (pulled two clips off the back in the process) and can't for the life off me feel or see anything on the backside that would help to remove them. Any ideas folks? Driving 130 odd miles back to Essex tomorrow and could do without it falling off.

They are number plate screws,they tighten up into the holes audi fix into the bodywork.

I know what they are mate. Just can't undo them!

Judging by your name you should have no problem tightening the up.
replace with better number plate screws. If they are plastic they will probably just pull out if they are already loose.

Pull the plate away from the car very gently so there is some pressure on the screw head and undo it.

I'm going to have to leave it at the moment. I cant risk breaking them with no replacements to hand. I'll pick up some industrial Velcro on Monday and get a new plate made up.
