So I've had my Lexus for 30 days now and I finally receive my license through the mail. I'm excited to put it on though I come to realize that my temporary license has been hanging on by one bolt and that there was a stripped broken bolt lodged in the other hole.
I've been to every mechanic, body shop, home depot you name it with disappointing results.
I had to have this done and my license plate on TODAY. So I went handy man mode and this is the result:
I feel terrible I tried a drill bit extractor and as you can see I'm 'screwed and in need of help now before everything closes and I'm stuck...

 

The good hole and what it should look like.

 

Drill and re-tap or ram a screw in that mother.

 

Wouldn't that mess up the wiring on whatever so I couldn't screw in another screw man I feel bad... look at her:

 

If you ram a screw in it, it will mess up the threads correct. But your threads are already cashed.

So you can either drill the hole with a drill, use a tap and die kit. Re-tap the hole with proper thread pitch and use the correct bolt.

or

Ram a screw in that mother and the other side too so it matches. Its a license plate screw, You only mess with them when you buy the car to put a plate on, or when you sell it to remove the plate.

 

Yeah I'd re-tap the hole. Go get a tap and die set at harbor freights. If all else fails then rivet that side in, jus sayin.
