How to remove the rear license plate?
This may sound a bit stupid - but how do you remove the license plate from the rear of a C5? I have a new plate, but can't remove the old one [yes - i removed the usual screws that hold the plate]... the plates frame seems to be integrated into the backup lamp housing.

If you look closely at the inside of the frame on both sides, you'll see two slots. Get a small scredriver and insert it into the slots and gently push the tabs back and pull the frame away from the car.

It's not a stupid question. :nonod:
Plenty of us have had the same question -- myself included.
Welcome to the forum! :cheers:

: agree: I'm almost 100% sure the owner’s manual covers that with pictures. But dam that is a newbe question. Welcome to the corvetteforum ask what ever question you have, and you will 99% of the time be about to get a awners and 100% of the time you will get poopie from us. No harm

Welcome to the Forum! :D This is a great place to hang around with folks who know and love the only sports car that matters! :cheers:
Of course, they might be a little smart-aleck at times. :blueangel:
Just remember, when all else fails, read the directions: It's in the owner's manual. :lol:

Re: How to remove the rear license plate? (savewave)
Not a stupid question at all. The previous owner of my Vette (or more likely the dealer), broke the GM plate frame trying to remove it. Now I'm ordering another one cause I like the look. Welcome to CF!

The Owners Manual - yes I did look there firstl - but there was no specific mention on how to remove the tag. There was mention [and a picture of the plate/light] on how to replace the backup lights
