Trailer Hitch Cover
Hi All,

looks like someone had some fun with my trailer hitch cover and decided to swipe it off my car. Does anyone have a good idea on where to get a replacement, and what can be done to potentially secure the cover? The one that came with the car was a basic black cover. Not looking to get the one with the Mercedes logo. I figure the logo would attract more attention.

thanks!

My old GL had a hole thru the cover so I was able to fit a locking pin thru. You could also use some zip ties if you don’t care that much.

Try Amazon....they have several, one for under $5. Locks are inexpensive also!

Zip tie is a clever idea.... easy to do and will ward off the opportunist....
