At least in the US, there are only two mounting holes for attaching a license plate. This results in the bottom of that metal license plate slamming against the hatch every time the hatch is slammed closed or a bump in the road is hit. My previous car had little rubber pieces in place of the lower tag holes that would prevent this type of thing. The CX-5 doesn't, and I'm concerned that over time it'll result in scratching the paint (which, in turn, can lead to rust.)
Is there any type of rubber or soft plastic product (or bumper?) that can be stuck to the back of a metal tag to soften the impact? Obviously, both the product and any adhesive would have to be weather proof. I considered using the door edge guards that are commonly sold, but they wouldn't fit around a tag frame.
Thanks,
Gary
