R3Wood Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Hello, I am Lexus "Newbie" after owning Mercedes for about 20 years. My wife wanted an RX330 back in '05 and after that we were hooked. I just purchased a 2003 GX470 and would like to access behind the rear license plate screw. Can anyone tell me how to access this area? I was looking at the Backup Lamps, and it looks like that could be the key to accessing the area behind the plate. The interior side of the tail gate did not look to promising for access. The fitting the plate screw attaches to came loose, so I need to get in there and reattach. I have attached a picture.

Lexus Master Tech Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think to access this fastener, you need to remove the inner plastic panel on the rear hatch. You probably need to remove the top and side pieces first tho....be careful too, the plastic is kind of fragile... Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
