What is license plate screw size

i cannot answer your question but did the front plate kit only come with two screws
in your car?

i know mine only came with two when in reality you need four to make things work.
i simply asked the dealer for two more when i visited after buying the car and had
the plates in hand.

sorry to interrupt your thread but i am guessing you did not get them either!?!

 

I happen to have a Toyota license plate screw here on my desk at work, which I took from a dealership last week, for some odd reason.

The threaded part is 5/8" long exactly. The outside diameter of the threaded part is 7/32". The head of the screw is 6/32" tall. Maybe you can test out some bolts on a friend's Toyota.

 

The thread diameter is 6mm. The required length varies depending on your frame.

EDIT: Note - I believe most foreign cars use a 6 mm diameter thread, while most American cars use a 1/4 inch diameter thread.

 

It is a fine thread bolt.
hehe, I had to check.

Why are there only two holes in hatchback for screws? I would love to use 4 screws, any way to do this myself safely?

 

For both the front and rear license plates, the license plate attaches via the two top screw holes.

I use four screws. For both the front and rear license plate bottom two screw holes, I use a shortened plastic screw and nut. In addition, for the rear I use a pad so the screw and nut do not scratch or dent the metal.

 

So your bottom two screws are just for show?

 

They used to be just for show.

But then I attached little round bumpers through my front license plate's bottom holes -- see photo:

And then I attached an L shaped hatch handle through my rear license plate's bottom holes -- see photos:
