Instruction Guide - Rivian R1T & R1S 2022+ SnapPlate

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.

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

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

Insert SnapPlate into the center of the grille and release the right button.

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. ☝️

Check that the right button is flush with the body to confirm that the latches are fully closed.

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.

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

Plate mounts 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.

Remove the four screws holding the plate mounts 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.

Position the plate mounts with the bottom lined up with the body and install screws in the center and lowest positions.

Go to Step 6

Position the plate mounts with one hole below the base. Install screws in the second holes from the ends.

Go to Step 6

Position the plate mounts with the center holes in line with the bottom holes in the base. Install screws in the top and center holes.

Go to Step 6

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

Remove the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall with the T10 bit facing out.

Locate the T10 torx screw in the center of each rotating latch.

• Go to Step 3 to loosen latches
• Go to Step 5 to tighten latches

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 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.

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.
