Instruction Guide - Polestar 2 2020+ SnapPlate

This page provides a detailed guide for installing the SnapPlate on the Polestar 2. Follow the step-by-step instructions to ensure a secure fit and optimal placement for your front plate.

Step 1

Plate mounts are shipped in the high position by default. If you prefer a different position, follow the Plate Height Adjustment instructions ☝️ to adjust before continuing.
Step 2

Install your license plate using four of the included black or silver torx security screws.
Step 3

Press and hold the right button to rotate the latches open.
Step 4

Insert SnapPlate into the center-top of the grille and release the right button.
Step 5

Important! Press the left button to rotate the latches closed and engage the magnets.

If the button is too difficult to fully close or the SnapPlate feels loose on the grille, adjust the latches following the Grille Depth Adjustment instructions. ☝️
Step 6

Check that the left button is flush with the body to confirm that the latches are fully closed.
Step 7

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

Note: If the screw doesn’t reach, make sure the latches are fully closed from Step 5.
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

Polestar SnapPlates ship in the high position by default, but are adjustable into 3 possible positions.
Step 2

Remove the two screws holding the plate mount to the body.
- For installation in the high position go to Step 3.
- For installation in the center position go to Step 4.
- For installation in the low position go to Step 5.
Step 3 (High)
With the SnapPlate logo facing up, position the plate mount with the bottom of the body and install screws.
- Go to Step 6
Step 4 (Center)
With the SnapPlate logo facing up, position the plate mount with the middle holes with the top of the base. Install screws.
- Go to Step 6
Step 5 (Low)
With the SnapPlate logo facing up, position the plate mount with the top holes in line with the top holes in the base. Install screws.
- Go to Step 6
Step 6

If not already installed, install the license plate using four of the included black or silver security screws.

Step 1

Remove the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall with the T10 bit facing out.
Step 2
Locate the T10 torx screw in the center of each rotating latch.
- Go to Step 3 to loosen latches
- Go to Step 4 to tighten latches
Step 3

Turn each screw counterclockwise (lefty loosey) 1/2 turn to loosen the latches by 0.25mm. Pull each latch with your fingers to make sure they are extended and then try the fit on the grille.

Repeat 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 4
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.
