F55/F56 License Plate Holder

License Plate Holder
Closed the hatch on my '14 MCS, and the clip holding the right side of the plate holder came out which allowed the right side to hang down. Looks like I'll have to push in on the plate whenever I close the hatch.
The other side seems secure for now -- sure would hate to lose my license plate after hitting some bump in the road.

It's the MINI part that attaches to the hatch that has came loose. The frame on the plate does not attach to the car.

It's held on my two machine screws under your license plate. Sounds like you need to probably replace one if it fell out.
My plate comes loose after a few months. I wish that holder used more than just 2 in-line bolts, because when it gets even slightly loose it lets it rock back and forth and make noise when you hit bumps. Probably should use some Loc-Tight on the bolts.

I'm only posting this to warn others.

Thanks for the heads up. That's the culprit? When the screws are tight that should expand and lock to the metal on the car. 51127020321
