That happened to me also.  Afterward, I noticed that there were little black
rubber
caps on the vertical bolts that attached the license plate frame to the
body.  I removed these caps, and put them over the bolts holding the
plate to the frame (the ones about 1/4 inch away from the paint).  I recently
lost one, but they stayed in place for about 2 years. (I'm now looking for
other --better-- "bolt-end covers" in Sears, etc.)
