That’s funny because mine did the opposite. Without the frame, mine has been rattling. I kept wondering where that sound came from and then one day I played with the license plate and realized it wasn’t tightened fully. Well, it is, but there’s a gap that is causing it to move.

So while I haven’t put the dealership one back on, I actually threw it away, I’m going to have to get some frame for the first time to fix this annoying sound. I usually just go without any frame for my license plate.
