Rich removed it from an MB in a salvage yard in Charleston, SC, area. He'll
hafta remind us what car it was. I don't remember.

How did you get an aluminum replacement lid? Which cars came with those?

Dan, little over a year ago, a vandal ruined original steel trunk lid on
my '91 350SDL (126); replacement lid is aluminum and would fly up
dangerously when unlocked (could really hurt somebody by striking them
under the chin). I weighed it down with appropriate number of old lead
tire weights in plastic sandwich bags hidden and tucked into the lid
structure between outer skin and the inner structural members.

Since I don't have any, that would be difficult.
And while my primary motivation is to weigh down the trunk lid to its
properly designed weight so it operates correctly, I recognize that the
presence of the reflective triangle is an added safety benefit as well.
Looks like they can be had on FleaBay in the $40 range. More if you
want a really pristine one.

Weigh one of the ones you have, and just add that much weight to the
