Flapping of plate causes fatigue cracking
I believe that the flapping of a TM's license plate back and forth during highway travel may cause fatigue cracking of the synthetic rubber tabs. My tabs so far have not cracked but a couple of months ago I mounted a hardwood block spacer between the back of the license plate and the exterior wall of the TM. The block is fastened to both surfaces with double-stick carpet tape. This keeps the license plate from flapping and may prevent the rubber mounting tabs from failing.
