Hi. I changed out my license plate lights with LED lights which meant I had to take out the whole housing of the oem's. In doing so I had to remove the trunk lid which was held on by two bolts and four or six snap in clips or connectors. Do you guys know what these are called or where I can buy them because two of them broke off? I asked mercedes and they said the only way I could buy them is if I bought a whole new trunk lid which I obviously do not want to do. Thx.

How does it look with out them? I took mine off to paint the chrome strip and one of the bolts on the end stripped and broke and it looks fine with out it.

It looks almost normal but the two clips that broke are in the center of the trunk lid that connects to the rest of the trunk so the lid is popping out about 1/4" and is not flush. I am concerned abut water possibly leaking inside the trunk lid and collecting or messing with the license plate lights.

Does anybody familiar with the trunk lid and the clips that hold it on know which of the following I need from the below website? thx.

By trunk lid, do you mean the plastic trunk diffuser?

mikey33

I mean the part of the trunk lid which the license plate screws into and is held in by two bolts in the trunk. It is also the same piece which can be taken out and switched to the European spec to make your car look European from the back.

Here is a picture of what I mean.

Is this the part?

mikey33

Yeah that is the part! It is held in by 4 to 6 six connectors to the main part of the trunk. Do you know which clips I need?

wampa

I haven't taken a look at the back of it yet. But if your interested that part is for sale

mikey33

I only need 2-4 clips that is all. Nice one though. Get back to me if you know which clips on that site are correct for this trunk piece, thanks.

wampa

Since I had the time, I turned the piece over and took some pictures for you .

I hope that helps.

mikey33

Sweet! I will try to see if those match any on that website. Is there anyway you can pop one out to see what it looks like? thx.
