Coat Hook
My 2010 E550 has the amazing Coat Hook in the top of the trunk in the middle. I have the same hook in my 2013 S550 but it is positioned on the left side and I always wondered why not in the middle like on my E550 until I saw a picture of an European S550 showing it has two hooks in the trunk.
Sure enough, I checked and there is an empty space for the second hook so I went to the MB dealer and bought the hook. Took out the one plastic plug that held the top liner up and installed the hook so now I have two hooks in my trunk.
Part number 212-810-00-40-9B27
Cost a whopping $14+tax from the dealer!!
The hook comes with the installation expanding square tabs so it installs the same way the handle in the roof liner at the doors.
Mercedes saves a ton of money not including two of these very handy hooks in cars for our market area. Wonder if there are two hooks in Canadian cars?

This hook thing is by far the best "cargo net" anybody can wish for. One double hook easily holds 10 grocery bags or whatever you want to hang. Keeps stuff from rolling in the trunk.
Very low cost item from the dealer. I originally ordered screws with it as the part description did not say if it has them. Came with four screws that cost $22 !!! I returned those when I saw the installation hardware was already in the part. And this part is made in Germany too. Can't believe the pricing so low for this.

Good job ,
It must be same weird reason not having two hooks given the fact that W212 pre facelift US Spec cars didn't come with the power folding mirrors unlike their Canadian versions .I mean Canadian or EU Specs came with that option .

thanks so much for your info Arrie, I wondered why MB didn't put two hooks in trunk. I looked it up on eBay and found several for 25$. but called my local dealer and ordered it for $12.94 out the door!

Great discovery Arrie. Hey EasyPhil can you post a link to low price provider of hooks?
Hopefully Big Brother isn’t listening.. hooks and hooker and hooking devices can get confusing..then throw in low cost..and..hopefully no one gets in trouble and all packages in trunk can be safely delivered.
Thanks for the tip, using one hook can only be made better by two.
