Greetings all I have a 2025 Ford Maverick with the front license plate bracket. But I’ve lost the hardware mounting kit. Would anyone know what was included in that kit. I don’t really want to buy another bracket from Ford for 50 bucks. Thank you.

The bracket is mounted using 3 black plastic button head rivets.
The kit also includes the 2 screws to mount the license plate to the bracket.

Plastic Rivet Pull Tool with a starter set of plastic rivets so you may not need to buy the loose rivets linked above:

I will say from experience that unless you buy the OEM replacement plastic rivets, the aftermarket plastic rivets have like a 30% failure rate when you pull them.

I used real aluminum pop rivets after the plastic rivets started to pull out..

I'd just use self-tapping screws (or even sheet metal screws with the points ground down) to make removing the license plate bracket easier.

I would use rivets plastic with some Epoxy around them like JB weld I have done that on mudflaps and worked great never came out again. We do not have to mount front plate here anymore. Even when we did I never ran a front plate ever not drilling into front bumper ect. I never had a problem. But perhaps I got lucky..🤷‍♂️

If it was required. I always ran a front plate.
I never wanted to give Lie Enforcement the opportunity to pull me over and do a roadside fishing Excursion/interrogation. I.e. Where are you going? Where you coming from? That way I don't have to tell them, I'm coming from their mother's house.
Imagine an occupation where it is not only OK to LIE to citizens. but you are taught how to proficiently
