To remove a rusted screw from a license plate, you can try using penetrating oil to loosen the rust. Let the oil sit for a few hours or overnight, then use a screwdriver or drill to carefully remove the screw. If the screw is still stuck, you may need to use a screw extractor tool or seek professional help.
It is important to replace a rusted license plate screw on your vehicle because rust can weaken the screw, causing the license plate to become loose or fall off. This can lead to a safety hazard on the road and may result in a traffic violation. Regularly checking and replacing rusted screws helps ensure that your license plate remains securely attached to your vehicle.
