Crossbars for the large Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV of the first generation X166, produced from 2015 to 2019. The selection is designed for mounting on raised rails found on the roof of this model.
The X166 generation uses raised rails that stand above the roof with free space underneath along their entire length. The roof rack feet grip them from both the outside and the inside.
When choosing, check the production year of your car. The production of the X166 generation took place from 2015 to 2019. If your vehicle was manufactured around the turn of 2019, verify in your vehicle registration document whether you already own the next generation X167, the production of which started precisely in 2019.
Crossbars form the base for a roof box, bicycle racks, or ski holders. When choosing, look at the shape of the bar itself. While accessories are attached to square steel profiles using U-bolts surrounding the bar, aerodynamic aluminum profiles usually have a T-track on the upper side for sliding in adapters.
If you already have a roof box or racks at home, check in advance what mounting method they require. The list of elements and components of each set is detailed directly in the specific product detail.
The GLS is one of the tallest cars on the road. After mounting the rack and loading the box or bicycles, the total height will increase significantly. Before entering underground garages, parking structures, or low shelters, verify the new height of the entire car with the load.
Into the total weight that the roof can carry, you must include the crossbars themselves, the empty box, and the load inside it. The maximum permissible roof load can be found in your vehicle manual.
Choose a crossbar set that suits your needs. Other versions can be found in the GLS-Class and Mercedes-Benz categories.
