I have to replace the trailer board on my trailer the number plate is stuck by the normal double sided tape.


Can anyone please suggest how I can remove the number plate without damaging it?

    Leave it facing the sun for a couple of hours before trying.

    Dental floss, use like a bit cheese wire to slice through the tape:rotfl:
    If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it.

    Brute force, applied near the tape rather than at the extremities of the plate.

    ^This. Dental floss, or fishing line if you have it, slice through the tape at the back and then use some glue remover to get rid of any residue if you need to.

    I'm not sure about how to remove it - but for the future we use strong velcro and can swap numberplates around readily. At times I use the same one for the trailer and the caravan.
