Expert Answers about License Plates and Frames


  • Will I Get a Traffic Violation if I Use the WeatherTech ClearFrame License-Plate Frame?
  • No, as long as the WeatherTech ClearFrame License-Plate Frame - Black # WT63020 is free from dirt/dust and is clearly visible, you will be safe from tickets. I currently have a tinted license plate cover on my vehicle, and I've never received any attention from traffic enforcement. However, in order to confirm this, I recommend consulting with your local law enforcement division.

  • Can A License Plate Be Mounted On the Swagman Bike Cover
  • I do have an option for you but the Swagman Bike Cover for RVs part # S24FR does not have a spot for a license plate. If you want, you could most likely attach the license plate with some zip ties or you could mount the license plate elsewhere with the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light part # LPL56CB or the License Plate Mount part #LP10SB.

  • Can Cargo Carrier Legally Obstruct View of License Plate?
  • A cargo carrier like the Viking Solutions Tilt-N-Go II Hauler and Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # 310-VTG002 can be used in most states even when the license plate is covered by the unit. Some states require relocation of the license plate if the plate is not visible so you will need to check with the local DMV as the laws do vary from state to state. You can add a license plate bracket to the carrier like # CR79150 if needed.

  • Does the 24x60 Cargo Carrier, # 52018, have Pre-drilled Holes to Mount a License Plate
  • Some carriers have predrilled holes and some don't. Adding a bracket will not be difficult. I recommend using the Gray-coated License-Plate Light with Mounting Bracket, # LP55CB. This brackets comes with a light you can wire to your vehicle to illuminate your plate. Just use a few self-tapping sheet metal screws to attach the bracket to one of the tubes on the cargo carrier and then attach your license plate.

  • Will Hopkins HM56203 Flat Tow Wiring Harness Operate License Plate Lamps on Vehicle
  • Depending on what point in the factory taillight harness the license plate lamp is wired in, it's entirely possible that the license plate lamp on your 2007 Liberty could be bypassed when flat towing. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any specific information on this, either online or from Hopkins. If your license plate lamp doesn't illuminate when flat towing, you would indeed need to run a jumper from the # HM56203 harness to your license plate lamp. You can see an install video...

  • Attaching License Plate to Cargo Carrier
  • The legalities regarding a cargo carrier obscuring a rear license plate can vary widely by state. Your best bet would be to directly contact the State Police or Department of Transportation in the states in which you will be traveling. Many cargo carriers do not provide a dedicated place to attach a license plate. You could drill two holes through the rear rail in order to bolt the plate in place to temporarily attach the plate, if needed. If you need to add lights, you could use the...

The left hand light has 8 functions, Stop, Turn, Tail, Rear Clearance, Rear Reflex, Side Marker, license plate light, and Side Reflex. The right hand has the same functions except the license...
