Q: I recently purchased a 2026 Kia K5. The dealer mounted the from plate through a bracket and then drove the screw directly into the front bumper, creating two screw holes in the bumper itself. As soon as I realized this, (about two days after purchasing the car) I went back to the dealer to ask them about it. They insisted that it was standard practice to do so. I asked why didnt they use a shorter screw with a nut to securely fasten the plate? Your thoughts please?
