Anybody have peeling plates? What did you do about it ?
My friend has one that is coming apart.
The clear plastic is not stuck to the plate.
Will service Ontario replace it free?(she is calling today)
She got the plate in 2010 when she bought the car.
All I can find online is newspaper articles,saying some pay and some don't.
Is there a difference between front and back? Are both reflective.
My guess is if they can't read the front you would still get a ticket.
Your thoughts please.
Thanks.
Same issue, got mine in March 2011 and I had to replace them this year. They are crap! They will warranty them if less than 5 years.

They replaced ours this year no questions asked - just went into the office with the plates and ownership - they replaced the plates right there.

We just did ours a few weeks ago was peeling off. Looked like it was melting off.
If started with a B there is a cut off at B something they will replace for free . Ours was BM the starting of the plate and it was a free replacement.

There was a series of plates that had a recall on them. in the B series as mentioned.
Call it in, they will offer a free replacement if within a set period of time.
Replaced mine in the spring no charge. Instructions in link below

What would happen if you removed all the material peeling off and painted them yourself as long as you didn't change anything?
You could end up in jail! Or so I was told by a cop when I 'fixed' my plate with a
blue marker! Replaced mine last year and was told they replace them if they were purchased within the last 5 years!
Work Great on the 407 I have been told.
Thanks for the replies.
She was to call Service Ontario yesterday but haven't heard.
Will post when I find out.
Took my plates in in septemeber... replaced free of charge.... had them for about 6 years now. Vehicle they were originaly on was purchesed in 2011Quote:

They will replace plates more than five years old that are pealing. According to this article plates acquired after June 1, 2008.

Earlier this year, Service Ontario replaced mine for free. They were purchased in June 2008 and the clerk mentioned I was lucky because I snuck in just under the deadline by a few days.
My plates are over 15 years old and no problem with any thing. Even if I had to buy a new set it's only 30 bucks per vehicle for me and the wife.
There was a window of bad plates, I think they all started with a B, I had a set on my car and when I went to pay all my fees this spring took them off as they were just starting to peel 4 years in, might as well get them when they are free and put the $30 into gas.Quote:

So even if the plate was not attached to a vehicle another person can still not order or use them.Quote:

I was simply saying that my plates are over 15 years old and are in great shape. A contrast to the ones that are peeling and at this point having to pay for new plates would not be that bad, they only cost me $2 a year over the 15 years. I spend more then that on timmies in a day
So what does that prove ??? my plates are even much older than yours, which proves absolutely nothing, zero , zip , so are my wife's.Quote:

Also Ham Radio Operators have license plates that start with V , followed by #3 ie; V3 ------
Not proving anything other then the defective plates are crap, and saying the plates on my vehicle get cheaper the longer they last.Quote:

Our trucks plate is just a little newer and no problems, my old car and SUV never had any issues, it was a bad batch and there was a recall on them but there is a deadline of 5 years for the recall.Quote:
