Exclamation Trailer Hitch Cover (Plug)

I want to find a source for a nice looking MB Hitch Cover for my ML 350 .The dealer only has one type and they are so small you can not lock on the the hitch therefor they are subject to be stolen .

I like the black rubber one that came with my car. I don't think anyone will steal it.

Go to amazon and get one that matches your favorite sports team, dog, school, etc. They are reasonable and lockable.

"hitch receiver plug"

A gaggle of MB's
Make your own - measure the diagonal - I suspect a Mercedes "trunk emblem" might fit.

There are a TON of self-adhesive emblems out there you can adapt over - not my speed on what you are wanting to do - but it's for you and you can get it figured out...

That's the one I got for my wife's ML. Very happy with it....looks good, stays firmly in place and has the lanyard, just in case. Yes, it doesn't lock in place, but for < $30 on Amazon, if it gets stolen (hasn't happened yet in a year+), I'll buy a replacement one.

I don't tow but today I noticed my OEM plastic plug was missing. I never paid much attention to it but I'm curious - was it just a snap in or did it have the lanyard attached to it?

I bought an OEM MB one with the star on it, since mine did not have anything. It had a lanyard on it, but after a year of use, the lanyard wore off, so now it just sticks in the back.
