This may seem like a silly question and a no-brainer for most of you guys, but what are your "creative" methods to repair the stripped screw holes in the plastic rear step bumper pad (2003 XLT) for my rear license plate frame?
I know you can just shove xtra large screws in the holes but I want that to be my last resort. I want to see your creative ways that you guys have come up to repair the screw holes in the step bumper pad for the rear license plate frame.
This is my second Ranger that has done this (stripped out) and I assure you, I do not over tighten these screws. My 98 Ranger lasted me 20 years and I just drove around with lose screws for the license plate for years.
If my only resort is to use oversized screws, please post pics and sizes of the screws you have used before my license plate falls off please.
