Rear license plate nut?
Does anyone have a part number for the rear license plate nut? Somehow I only have one on the rear and need another. It’s the square nut that slides into the rear license plate holder.
I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Don’t know part number and doubt you’ll find one for just the nuts. I just replaced my entire bracket because the dealer stripped the plastic portion of the frame that holds these metal nuts in place. I chose to buy an all metal bracket for $20 on Amazon that is far superior to the cheap plastic oem part. Here is the link:
I still have the old bracket with two of the square nuts you’re looking for. If you can’t find them at a hardware store, pm me and I can mail you one.
Good luck with your search.

I had some work done to my car and they lost 2 of the square nuts. They put the license plate on with only 2 screws, using the bottom 2 holes.
In the square nut section I found #12 square nuts will fit, with a slight amount of force they'll snap right in there. OEM's are metric, but these will work. Metric square nuts are not readily available in my area. I wanted to keep the plastic OEM license plate holder because it has the VIN on it.
