[s-cars] license plate facia (Avant)

in their infinite wisdom, the State of Washington required us to
replace our perfectly good license plates with new ones. same
personalized plate - just a new version thereof.

it required removal of 4 rusty bolts and reinstallation. I chased the
threads with a tap and replaced the bolts with new stainless hardware.
apparently the torque and re-torque of the bolts was too much. some
days later during a cold snap, the plate fell off. the cap nuts pulled
through the plastic and ruined any chance of being reused.

the cap nuts clip into a facia which bolts into the rear of the wagon
lid. I cannot find this facia piece at all in ETKA 7. I'm either
looking to replace it or figure out a different method of attaching
the plate.

bueller?

thanks!
