Step 1
The LYRIQ SnapPlate comes adjusted for a loose fit on the grille to ensure that it can be easily attached without requiring adjustment.
However, before you install your license plate on the SnapPlate, we recommend fine tuning the fit to your vehicle and preference following the Grille Depth Adjustment instructions. ☝️ -

Step 2
If it’s not already in place, pull the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall it with the larger T25 bit facing out.

Step 4
Orient the SnapPlate with the “Tighten/Loosen” text right-side up and attach it to the center of the grille in the highest opening.
Note: You can use your thumbs or index fingers to pull the sliders out or simply push the SnapPlate onto the grille. It may help to rock it side to side to engage both sliders. -

Step 5
Double-check that the SnapPlate is securely attached with the sliders on both sides fully engaged. The flat part of both sliders should be flush with the body.
Important! If you can’t securely attach it or it feels loose on the grille after it is attached, remove the license plate and adjust the fit following the Grille Depth Adjustment instructions. ☝️ -

Step 6 (Optional)
To prevent the SnapPlate from being removed, use the T25 screwdriver to tighten the anti-theft security screws on both sides.
Note: When removing the SnapPlate, the security screws do not need to be fully removed. They can just be loosened until they’re flush with the body. -

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

Step 4
Insert the T25 screwdriver into the “Tighten/Loosen” hole in the center of the SnapPlate body.
While slightly moving the SnapPlate to judge for tightness, turn the screwdriver counter-clockwise (lefty-loosey) to tighten it against the grille.
Note: Take care not to overtighten the SnapPlate. The tighter it is, the more difficult it will be to install and remove. Tighten or loosen as needed to find an optimal fit. -
