Compatible with Modern Maybach SedansThis ornament utilizes the Modern Slim-Snap mechanism. It is not backward compatible with older twist-lock systems:
- Will NOT fit W221, W212, or W220 (These require the A221 or A210 twist-lock variants).
- Verify that your hood aperture accepts the snap-in pin configuration rather than the rotating lock.
Installation Protocol
Align the slim-base pins with the hood aperture. Apply even downward pressure until the dual-clip mechanism clicks into place. No rotation required for this generation.
