Euro warning triangle in trunk

I have one of those removable red reflective warning triangles from my old euro 123 ( RIP) that was attached to the underside of the trunk lid.
i thought I could attach to my euro 107, but there are no attachment points on the 107 trunk lid interior. I wonder why? Was the safety triangle an option? I have seen on many euro MB's.
I presume the attachment hardware is unavailable.
Any ideas short of duct tape ?
thanks

Pretty sure it was standard equipment on the Euro 107. There is no description of how or where to display it in the owners manual I have.

Adhesive backed Velcro joiner tape works well on many light weight things. Get small packets at the hardware store.

I believe the Euro 107 came with a foldable warning triangle that was stowed into a plastic, yellow container. It looks similar to this.

Wow the fold up type in euro 107's , but trunk lid type in euro 123's. I would have never guessed.
I have to wonder why MB would vary the triangle placement between different model cars in the same year? Trunk strength/layout ?
Certainly the trunk lid location is superior because the safety triangle is immediately visible just by opening the trunk lid.
I will explore the velcro method. I hope the triangle isn't too heavy.
Gentlemen thanks for your input on this very important subject !!!

It is pretty heavy. Made to be placed on the ground. Doubt the torsion bars on the read lid will support it.
