Yep...idiot salesman who I worked with to finalize the purchase put on wrong screws when he put in temp. tags for me to drive off. It ended up scratching the rear glass few days later. They tried to blame it on me for putting in wrong screws but I explained to them why would I need to replace them if I haven't gotten new tags and temps tags still being the same at time of putting them on by the salesperson?

They ended up covering it out of their pockets without counting it against my factory warranty

I don't care about the mpg, minimal power, lack of updates, but at least find a supplier that can provide hardware that won't weld itself immediately.

Just picked up a '21 and one front screw was already rusted when I picked it up.
They told me they would get me some, but Toyota dealers are useless.

(First time I am ever using a front plate in a front plate state as they already installed the mount)

Anywho, I picked up some 316 black oxide coated stainless and titanium bolts for the plates and a few jars of Copaslip Molyslip for plate bolts and to go over some bolts on the underside as well.
An ounce of prevention...

I dip the screws in axle grease prior to installation. Never had a problem removing them.

These guys are OEM suppliers to exotic car manufacturers. I bought one of their stainless steel license plate frames and a set of hardware. It’s all stainless. The fastener kit I bought has bumpers to keep the plate off the paint. All of it is very nice stuff. I used antisieze on the plate screws from day 1.

make sure to pull and apply antisieze to all your skid plate blolts too. In fact, anytime I remove a bolt or screw on the exterior of my 4R now, I have my jar of antisieze handy.

Make sure what ever screw you use its the correct length or it will scratch the rear glass.

My two cents, FWIW: When you replace your hardware use 316 SST (A4) and not 18-8 (A2) SST especially if you're in the rust belt. The 316 will hold up a little better. Might want to take the extra step and use safety torx head screws for anti-theft. Pro tip- dip the first few threads of the screw in grease before installing them. This will help with the rust and also any galling issues.

Yes yes!
Been doing that since I bought my '02.
Maybe once a year, year-and-a-half though.
