Polestar 3 SnapPlate Installation Guide
Installation
Prepare the Screwdriver
Remove the T10/T25 bit from the included screwdriver handle and reinstall it with the larger T25 bit facing outward.
Choose Your Plate Height
SnapPlate ships with the license plate mount in the high position, which closely matches the factory license plate location. If you prefer the low position, complete the Plate Height Adjustment instructions below before continuing.
Install Your License Plate
Attach your license plate to the SnapPlate mount using four of the included black or silver washer-head Torx security screws. Make sure both the SNAPPLATE logo on top of the base and the license plate are right side up.
Open the SnapPlate
Push and hold the OPEN button located on the right side of the SnapPlate base.
Position SnapPlate on the Grille
Align the opening in the SnapPlate base with the top center vertical bar in the Polestar 3 grille.
Secure SnapPlate
Push the CLOSE button to secure SnapPlate to the grille. You should feel some resistance, but the button should not be difficult to push.
Confirm the Mount Is Locked
Check that the CLOSE button sits flush with the SnapPlate body. This confirms that SnapPlate is fully attached and the magnets are engaged.
Install the Anti-Theft Security Screw
For additional security, tighten the black anti-theft screw in the opening on the right side of the SnapPlate. It takes approximately eight full turns to lock or unlock and does not need to be completely removed.
Remove Before Automatic Car Washes
Remove SnapPlate before using an automated car wash. Most touchless washes may be fine, but removing the mount beforehand is recommended.
Plate Height Adjustment
The Polestar 3 SnapPlate can be configured in either a high or low license plate position. The high position is the standard configuration and closely mimics the factory plate location.
Prepare the T25 Driver
Remove the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall it with the larger T25 bit facing outward.
Remove the Plate Mount
Remove the four screws securing the license plate mount to the SnapPlate base.
Low Position
Position the SnapPlate base with the SNAPPLATE logo facing upward. Orient the plate mount below the base and reinstall the four mounting screws.
High Position
Position the SnapPlate base with the SNAPPLATE logo facing upward. Orient the plate mount above the base and reinstall the four mounting screws.
Grille Depth Adjustment
If SnapPlate feels too tight or too loose when attaching it to the Polestar 3 grille, the latch depth can be adjusted for the proper fit.
Prepare the T10 Driver
Remove the T10/T25 bit from the screwdriver handle and reinstall it with the smaller T10 bit facing outward.
Locate the Adjustment Screw
Locate the T10 Torx adjustment screw in the center of the sliding latch.
Increase Latch Depth
Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise 1/2 turn to loosen the latches by approximately 0.25 mm. Pull the latch outward with your fingers to make sure it has extended, then test the fit on the grille. Repeat as needed, up to four 1/2-turn adjustments (two full turns).
Decrease Latch Depth
Turn the adjustment screw clockwise 1/2 turn to tighten the latches by approximately 0.25 mm. Test the fit on the grille and repeat in small increments as necessary.
