Installation instructions for the CCLINQ Magnetic License Plate Holder – quick, secure and without drilling

Instructions: Mounting the Magnetic License Plate Holder

Parts needed

  • CCLINQ Magnetic license plate holder (set for front or rear)
  • License plate
  • Alcohol pad (for degreasing the surface)
  • Cleaning cloth (e.g. microfiber cloth)
  • Screws (optional, depending on vehicle and mounting type)

Step 1: Clean the surface

  1. Clean the area on the bumper where the magnets will be attached.
  2. Use the alcohol pad to remove grease and silicone residues.
  3. Then wipe the surface dry with the cloth.

Step 2: Attach magnets to the vehicle (glue or screw)

Option A – Gluing (without drilling):

  1. Peel off the protective film from the self-adhesive backing of the magnets.
  2. Position the magnets at the desired location for the license plate.
  3. Press each magnet firmly for approx. 20–30 seconds.

Option B – Screwing (optional):

  1. Position the magnets at the existing drill holes on the bumper.
  2. Fasten them with the included screws.
  3. Tighten the screws hand-tight (do not overtighten).

Step 3: Prepare and position counter-parts

  1. Place the counter-parts on the already mounted magnets on the vehicle.
    → They will automatically adhere in the exact correct position.
  2. Now peel off the protective film from the self-adhesive backing of the counter-parts.
  3. Press the counter-parts firmly onto the back of the license plate.

Important:
First mount the magnet → then place the counter-part → then peel off the film.
This guarantees perfect alignment.

Step 4: Glue counter-parts to the license plate

  1. Press the counter-parts (which are already aligned on the magnets) firmly onto the back of the license plate.
  2. Hold each counter-part firmly with pressure for approx. 60 seconds so that the adhesive pad adheres optimally.

Step 5: Allow to cure (very important!)

  • Do not move the license plate for 72 hours after applying it. During this time, the adhesive reaches its highest adhesive strength. Avoid car washes during this time.

Step 6: Attach license plate

  1. Hold the license plate in front of the bumper.
  2. The magnets will automatically pull the license plate into the correct position.
  3. Press the license plate lightly until it is securely seated.

Step 7: Remove license plate (important!)

❌ Never pull the license plate straight off!
✔ Always tilt it slightly first, then release it sideways.
This prevents unnecessarily high tensile force and protects the adhesive and magnets.

Notes & Safety

  • Mounting only on smooth, clean surfaces
  • At temperatures below 5 °C, warm the surface slightly before mounting
  • Do not move the license plate for 72 hours after applying it. During this time, the adhesive reaches its highest adhesive strength. Avoid car washes during this time.
