I have a 2020 s560 and would like to remove the stand-up style hood ornament and replace it with a flat hood ornament. I called my local Mercedes parts department and they couldn't tell me if a flat hood emblem that comes on other Mercedes would fit. Has anyone done this and/or have suggestions on a part number that would work or an aftermarket part? Thanks.

I Googled it and found this.


One of the comments said they installed it on a 2018 S class with no gaps.

Interesting...

According to the Mercedes parts site it says that SKU 000-817-33-05 replaces the one on Amazon (SKU 000-817-17-01).

I wonder what the difference is...

I work at a local Mercedes-Benz dealer and I can tell you that I have changed out a dozen emblems from the flat ones to the stand up stars . Once you get it off (sometimes the spring you need to compress on the inside part of the star under the hood will slightly rust making it really difficult to compress . Trick is to use a needle nose to crimp and twist ) OEM or Amazon they all seem to do the trick and should snap in easily .

I have a spare flat star in my garage if anyone wants one, let me know! It came off my 2019, which I just traded and the new 2020 already has the standing star.
