Jason how much could those tree nails be? .50 at the dealer? Id get the correct ones. or ebay. That said I also hav a vast array of clips,screws and fasteners. Im sure you have something that would work.

Looks like a typical golf umbrella, so length shouldn't be an issue and should work fine. I have a Mercedes golf umbrella which i purchased from the dealer, and as you can see from the pictures above, it fits fine.

$99, it better not be made in china.

That's a relief then

I used this one which folds up really small but opens up full sized. I don't recall what I paid for it but it seemed to be OEM.

Currently unavailable it says.

Did you print them?

obwielnls

I did and they work fine. But someone posted a link for the originals that were under a dollar. That's what I'd use..

Jason B

Thanks, missed it. And, that's super cool you could so something small like that.. I've been really curious about buying one of these printers and it amazes me the stuff you can do from small to large. You have the model and a link?

Would you be willing to share the STL file of your treenail? I know they're used in other parts of the vehicle and it would be nice to be able to print one or more when needed.

It's not exactly like the original but here it is. Printed in ABS and seems to work fine.

I got all hardware from dealership for around $45.00
Took me an hour to install

Awesome!! Pretty easy install right?

604benz

Yeah easy install, it took me the longest to cut slits in the trunk liner for the bracket on top side
Great option for me as I use my S550 on my limo fleet and get a lot of rainy days this time of year in Vancouver, BC
I must have damaged 4 umbrellas before the install with luggage

With the liner pulled back, I measured from the hole for the plastic grommet to the square holes where the treenails go. On the top side of the liner, I just poked through with a Phillips screwdriver.....worked perfect. Glad everything worked out for you; no more damaging your umbrellas!

Resurrected...

Pumped to give this a shot! I just ordered all the parts to include the OEM umbrella. More to come...

Did you need to remove the liner on the trunk lid to mount the bracket ?

from what I remember I think I only loosened the bottom half of the liner
