Has anyone mastered the trick for installation of the spring-loaded rear plate holder while the bumper is on the car. Tried to give it a go alone but thought better as it seemed I would scratch the bumper before I was finished. Maybe it's a two person job. Any suggestions?

Ken it is a two person job,I had my wife stand behind the car and move the plate holder around .I actually fabricated a spring from an old brake spring,and just layed on my back and played with it until I was able to get the ends into the proper holes.You will need some good light to see the holes. -
Thanks, I'll get an extra hand and figure out something similar to the brake return spring. Recently cleaned out the garage and tossed some old brake springs as they'd been sitting in a bucket for years with no future use to think of. Oh well, some more cleaning should produce more hardware for the task at hand.Ken
