Step 7

Optionally, install a black anti-theft security screw in the hole near the right button.

Note: If the screw doesn’t reach, the SnapPlate is not securely attached to the grille. Make sure the latches are fully closed from Step 5 before driving.

Step 8

Don’t forget to remove SnapPlates for automated car washes. Most touchless washes are fine, but better to be on the safe side!

Step 1

Gen 2 SnapPlates ship in the high position by default, but are adjustable into 5 possible positions.

We recommend high for the best aesthetics, low for the least camera obstruction, or center for a nice balance of both.

Step 4

Pull each latch with your fingers to make sure they are extended and then try the fit on the grille.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 up to four times (two full turns) as needed.

Important! Contact support before proceeding past two turns. If loosened more than two turns, the SnapPlate could become stuck in the grille and it may be very difficult to remove.

Step 5

Turn each screw clockwise (righty tighty) 1/2 turn to tighten the latches by 0.25mm and try the fit on the grille.

Repeat as needed.
