I open the license plate 90 degrees and place the oil cap at the bottom of
the license plate frame and the rear of the van (where the hinge is) and
then slowly release the license plate. The license plate will rise up a
couple of degrees until the oil cap is wedged between the bottom of the
license plate and the rear of the van. (about 75 degrees from the vertical)

and then bitch to all hell when you accidentally knock the oil cap behind the
bumper, swearin, and cussin while you use the dipstick to try to fish it
out.... ;<)
