Crossbars for the first-generation Mercedes-Benz GL-Class designated as X164, produced from 2006 to 2012. All sets in the offer are designed for raised roof rails, which this SUV has on the roof from the factory.
The X164 generation uses raised roof rails with free space underneath them that can be comfortably grabbed by hand. The roof rack feet attach directly around them from both the outside and the inside.
Before installing the carrier, clean dust and small stones from the contact points on the rails so that the rubber pads of the feet rest on a clean surface. Always check the exact mounting procedure and package contents of individual variants in the specific product detail.
The Mercedes-Benz GL is one of the massive and tall vehicles. When securing crossbars, handling bicycles, or loading a roof box, you will appreciate a door sill step or a sturdy portable stool.
When mounting the box, set the distance between the front and rear crossbar in advance according to the mounting holes of the box. At the same time, check that there is no contact with the rear of the box when the tailgate is fully opened. With a load on the roof, account for the higher profile of the vehicle when entering underground garages or car washes.
The offer includes both steel and aluminum crossbars. Steel bars have a standard cross-section, and accessories are usually attached to them using U-bolts or clamps. Aluminum profiles feature a top T-slot that allows the insertion of compatible adapters for ski or bicycle carriers.
When packing luggage, remember that the total roof load capacity also includes the weight of the crossbars and the empty box itself. You can find this limit in the vehicle manual.
