My car is a 2015 Mercedes S550 4Matic Sedan. Past models had a trunk mounted clip/bracket to hold an umbrella. I can't seem to find one of those that will fit my model.
Does anyone have any idea if it exists for this model and year? How can I find one if it does exist?
Thanks in advance.

So I did it! I recently traded in my W221 and purchased a 2015 W222. With that, I removed my umbrella holder from the W221 and successfully installed it in my W222. I have a post on the W221 forum with the part numbers of everything I used, and everything transferred over with no issues to my W222. Below are the pictures:
Were the holes already in the trunk lid inner steel panel on the W222 like they were on the W221, or did you have to create the holes? When I installed this on my W221, the holes were already stamped out of the sheet metal. It made installation very simple.
Installation was exactly as it was for the W221. The holes are already stamped out of the sheet metal just like it was with the W221; insert the treenails into the holes to catch the screws, make the holes through the liner and screw the holder into place.....done!
I just bought one of these from ebay.. Did you have to pull the liner? Cut slots in the liner for the tabs? Were they marked on the back side of the liner?

Yes, I pulled the liner back just a bit, from the bottom, where you will see two square holes centered. Those square holes are where you put the treenails to catch the two screws. I measured distance from square holes to the plastic rivet holes on both sides and poked through with a screwdriver. FYI, you will also have to remove the two plastic "arm covers" #130 in the diagram above to be able to peel liner back. Hope this helps....
My friend has one of these from his old w221 that he said he'd GIVE TO ME. He just has the holder piece and no screws. I have a lot of screws in my parts bin, etc. If I only have the back holder that he gives me, do I need anything special to attach it besides some basic screws??? Hope someone can answer this.
