Exterior Trim - Front License Plate Bracket Installation: Overview

REF. NO. MBNA 88/10a

TO: OUR MERCEDES-BENZ PASSENGER CAR DEALERS

DATE: March 1992

SUBJECT:
MODELS 129 AND 140 FRONT LICENSE PLATE BRACKET

Similar to model 129, since January 1992, the front license plate bracket for model 140 is supplied as a separate part and is located in the trunk. This has been done for styling reasons since many states do not require a front license plate.

If a front license plate bracket is required by law in your state, or if the customer wants to install a front plate, the bracket is to be installed according to the Work Instructions No. 248a Group 88.

Mercedes-Benz of North America does not cover the expense of installation.
