Rear license plate bolt annoyance, post for searching.

Ran into a problem with the rear license plate bolts being seized, I was able to get the driver's side bolt out, but the other side broke as I tried.The nuts are welded to the hatch so replacement isn't going to happen short of welding new nuts to the backside, I removed the plastic trim behind the hatch, broke/spun the old bolt out from the backside with a pair of vice grips and then re-tapped the hole with a M6 tap.License plate bolts are M6x20 and make sure you get stainless when you're at the hardware store.Just posting this so people in the future know what they need and how to do it when they've faced with the same problem.
