I bought an extra front license plate cover to install (got a fix-it ticket), and can you guys tell me how to change it out?

to release the lower tabs Using a flat blade, paint scraper etc. The rest of the tabs will snap out once started..

After you get the cover out, I recommend putting sylglide (silicon lube) on the tabs to facilitate switching the cover.

I have a plain cover with no plate on my TT. I also keep a cover with license plate bracket and plate in the hatchback.

For the county that I live in and the county I work in license plates on front are ignored by police. For when I go to other places, I snap out the plain front and install the cover with plate. The sylglide makes switching covers very easy. Lubrication vs. friction--standard physics stuff.

probably a good idea not to do it when it is cold tho...;-)

Where do you get this sylglide from??

Auto supply store or hardware store. It is in a plastic tube.
