I am moving from Quebec to Ontario with my X5. Can I take it to the dealer and ask them to install the plate mount? I can't drill it myself....It's like drilling into myself... |
There was a rumour and I was hoping Doug was going to eliminate front plate requirement in Ontario and so installed the SlyBracket at the start of this thread upon pickup. Doug chickened out, but the SlyBracket still works well. No holes, no removals for touchless car washes (would never use a non-touchless), no sensor issues, no snow issues.

I knew! I was hoping Mr.Ford can make this happens, then I don't have to worry about it when I move this Summer...Too bad it didn't happen....
I was looking at this Sly brackets. People in this thread had concerns about only two screws to hold the license plate. So is it sturdy enough?
I see you mentioned in the other post that you used a different screws because you out a frame. What screws did you use?
Also, do they ship to Canada?
Thanks |
Ok, I guess you're going to make me research what I did two years ago. Sigh :-). Stand by and I'll see what I can find in the archives.
The longer bolts were only needed due to the cover and rubber washers. IIRC stock bolts were even long enough with cover, but they cracked that first cover on the first drive; the washers worked great for the second cover (I have a custom plate with sentimental value, so I protect it at the front).
Still sturdy. Never had to retighten or adjust for 2 years. Yes, they shipped to Canada no problem.
