License plate flashing detail. LOL

I saw this on a mobile home a few days ago. There are two Florida plates together with a plastic cap. It appears to be some sort of flashing I think??

I've seen license plates to span gaps in the wood substrate, but never that. Although I have seen similiar details, just not with license plates.

Is that there one of them fancy double-wides?

Looks like typical trailer community DIY work.

What were they thinking?
I've seen a aluminium pie plate used as flashing where a tile roof met a flat roof that was hgher than the gutter on the tile side.
Also a licence plate used to cover a broken tile on the same roof. No pics unfortunately.

Re: License plate flashing detail. LOL

Thats not so bad.
My nieghbor needed a new shingle roof, so I had his sons go around town and collect stop signs. Installed sweet and gave him a lifetime warranty. Can't wait to see it again, when/if I get out.

Here's one similar to what I described in my last post. I just HAD to take these pics before I took the tiles off. Inside the roof wasn't much better.
The house is being demolished so I spent today salvaging the tiles.
