upper trunk bracket for warning triangle

I want to install the EURO Warning triangle on the inside of my trunk lid like they required in Europe. I have the the Mercedes triangle reflector. It fits perfectly in the bottom two holes in the trunk lid. I purchased a OEM bracket from the web but cannot figure out how to fit it into the holes in the trunk

I had to fiddle with it a bit and figured it out a few years ago. If you still need help I can send you a photo.

After further research I may have the wrong part number bracket I was able to find one ( which I think its the right part number ) in Germany but guy may not want to ship to US. . If you could send me the part number you used that would help,if its not to difficult to remove. IF not just a picture of the bracket installed on the trunk lid. Thanks. Any help appreciated

Here is the part the dealership sold me 4-5 years ago. It was relatively low cost is what I remember.
Since you are inquiring is it fair to assume they are now NLA?

If so definitely try classic parts center in So Cal.

I have seen some parts sold on ebay that look different but may work.

It was not easy to take out and I did not want to break it trying to do so.

Just stopped by the dealership to pick up a couple of o-rings for my fuel sender I just cleaned out for a bouncy gauge.

Unfortunately the triangle bracket is NLA now. Here are your part numbers (original and superseded by the W140.)

201 890 0014
140 890 0014

Picture below.

Hope this helps.
