The License Plate Tool Holders (LPTH) can hold rarely-used small tools (not included) for emergency access to the Rivian R1 front trunk (frunk) in case of complete loss of electrical power. The LPTH set consists of a left-side LPTH and a right-side LPTH that is mounted behind the vehicle’s rear license plate using existing mounting points and fasteners; no new holes or permanent modifications to your vehicle are needed to install the LPTHs.
The LPTHs were designed to be as small and stealthy as possible. It is specifically designed to hold parts of this inexpensive mini ratchet set sold on Amazon (affiliate link, not included with purchase). Of this ratchet set, the LPTH has enough storage space to hold at least the following items when stored separately between the left and right LPTHs:
- 1/4″ ratchet
- 1/4″ bit extension
- 1/4″ driver to socket adapter
- 10 mm socket
- T20H bit
- T25H bit
- Plus at least 2 to 4 more bits
Each LPTH has a removable, sliding cap to access the interior volume; the sliding cap is tightly fitted to remain closed but remains removable by hand without needing any tools.
Proper mounting of the LPTHs requires the use of all four license plate mounting points/fasteners. The LPTH set does not come with any additional screws or fasteners.
The LPTHs are compatible with license plate frames up to 12.3″ wide. Although not required, using a black border license plate frame with the LPTHs helps increase rigidity and make the LPTHs less noticeable. We’ve tested compatibility of the LPTHs with this license plate frame sold on Amazon (affiliate link, not included with purchase).
Although not watertight, both the left-side and right-side LPTHs feature an interior drainage sump and open port in the back to prevent water retention should water ingress inside the storage space. We recommend putting your tools inside a small sandwich ziplock bag before placing them inside the LPTHs to protect them from water and dust.
