2. Align the two upper license plate bracket mounting holes, that are labeled Saturn VUE, with the dimples in the front fascia.
3. Using the license plate bracket as a template, drill two 5 mm (13/64 in) holes in the upper mounting holes through the front fascia.
4. Install the rivets in the upper mounting holes of the license plate bracket.
