Yesterday morning I found my front number plate on the ground, as you can see from the photo it was only attached with poor quality double sided tape on a limited surface area. Also some of the tape was overlapped further reducing the contact area. After cleaning the existing tape from the plate, there was nothing on the bumper. I used the following tape to refit :- https://www.diy.com/departments/3m-...ounting-tape-l-5m-w-19mm/4054596685819_BQ.prd.
When I was done I thought to check the rear plate and found it just hanging on the tow hitch, resecured as above.
Now it maybe coincidence or not but the day before was the first I’ve had the vehicle on a rough farm track full of pot holes causing lurching from side to side. During the night there was also very heavy rain and strong winds so I think this is what final caused them to come off. I had a look at various photos on the forum and there is a mix of mechanical fixings and double sided tape used to secure the plates.
