The front license plate bracket on my 2009 Murano only has two holes (at the top of the bracket) for securing the plate. That leaves the metal plate hanging with no bracket backing or support on the lower half of the plate. When I go through a car wash the front plate always ends up getting bent by the spinning cloth strips in the car wash.I tried installing an aftermarket metal frame, but it just gets bent along with the plate.

This seems to be somewhat of a design flaw to leave the bottom half of the plate exposed/unsecured. My previous FX35 didn't have this issue as the plate bracket fully secured the plate.

I've looked online but can't find anyone who makes a bracket that would do the job on a Murano.

Any suggestions (other than not using automated car washes)?

Thanks.
