BEFORE YOU START

Create a clean slate by removing your license plate and wiping it clean of any dirt or debris. This is also a great opportunity to wash and wax the area behind your plate.


INSTALLATION

  1. Install the Reviver Mounting Bracket

Your standard vehicle mounting screws (x2) are to be used to mount the Reviver provided back mounting bracket as standard. We used (2) H-SCREW10X1/2PHILBLK along with our optional universal mounting bracket. In this case we had to use the top most holes in the bracket to have clearance for the rear mounted backup camera. Lower portion of the bracket is to be held on with 3M adhesive as included from Reviver. Remove the red liner to relief the tack and press firmly to the clean & dry vehicle surface.


2. Mate the RPlate and EPlate Frame

Slide frame from top over the edge of the R-plate, careful to ensure the top central mounting tab locks in behind the edge of the plate.

If inserted properly, the plate should sit flush against the inside edge of the frame as shown. This is a nice snug fit that cannot slide out easily from behind the central tab. It also aligns both mounting holes and the front side button access with minimal adjustability.

If your EPlate Frame Assembly includes the optional Plate Shield - Be sure to place the Plate Shield in between the plate and frame, making note of the location of the mounting holes and button pass through. When using the Plate Shield, tolerance with the topside tab may be tight. Preload your RPlate and Plate Shield behind the topside tab of the Frame before bringing the assembly together at the bottom. This swinging motion will align the tab for a firm and secure fitment without rattling. Make note of how the tab should appear in the preceding image, this applies with or without the Plate Shield.


3. Mount the RPlate & Eplate Frame to the vehicle

With a swinging motion, hold the top edge of the Rplate to the top edge of the Reviver Mounting Bracket. While simultaneous bringing the assembly down and in, catch the back slots of the Rplate onto the top protruding edge of the Reviver mounting bracket. If done correctly the assembly should sit flush to the bracket/vehicle, and hang without assistance.

Feed CAMI provided M4x16mm screw (replaces Reviver provided screw) through the hardware hider or security cap base. Then insert the screw into the hole at the lower corner of the frame, through the R-Plate and into the plate mounting bracket threaded fitting on the backside. The screw should thread easily without the use of force. Level and straighten the assembly while loose. Tighten screw until base is seated firmly against the frame. Be careful not to overtighten for this may damage the frame and/or strip the threads in the backside mounting bracket. If using a secuity cap, the included teflon washer should be placed between the bottom of the base and the frame.


3. Restrict access to the mounting screw head

Next we restrict access to the screw head using either option below.

  • If using Hardware Hiders (Patent 10843642) - thread the cap lid onto the base by hand, normal thread lefty-loosey righty-tighty. Tighten until the base begins to rotate.

  • Shown - If using Security Caps (Patent 8051690 & D608626) - using the included Spanner, thread the REVERSE threaded security cap lid onto the base. Do not overtighten. It is recommended to save the spanner wrench in your glove box for future use.


4. Installation Complete!

Below is completed installation with security features in place! Final assembly should not block visibility of the frame/backup camera, protect access to the mounting screws from passerbys, and securely fasten your Rplate to the vehicle.

Note - Check that the top is still securely held by the top edge of the Reviver mounting bracket in back. if it is not, undo the caps and screws, and repeat beginning at Step 3.
