I bought these because the screws rusted out on my license plate. I tried to take the screws off with an easy out but the screws broke instead. I was just going to use the magnet plate holder long enough to get the broken screws out of the old plate mount on my car. This product is so good, I'm just going to leave it on permanently. The plate doesn't look like it is being held with a magnet and it is being secured very tightly. This is a great solution to my problem. I love it!
