Crossbars for the first-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC designated as X253, manufactured between 2015 and 2022. Our offer includes sets designed for flush rails that lie flat against the car roof.
The first generation of the GLC bore the designation X253 and rolled off the production lines until 2022. The new X254 generation came to the market precisely in 2022. If you own a vehicle from this transitional production year, please verify the exact version in your vehicle registration document. Different sets are intended for the newer model, which you can find in the Mercedes-Benz GLC X254 category.
For the GLC X253 model, solutions for flush rails are available. The rack foot grips the rail profile from both the outside and the inside. Before installing the rack, we recommend thoroughly washing and degreasing the contact surfaces of the rails, as dust and accumulated dirt can reduce the grip of the rubber parts.
Each manufacturer handles the tightening and assembly of parts differently. You will find what exactly is included in the delivered set in the description of the specific product, and always follow the enclosed manual during installation.
You can mount a roof box, bicycle racks, or ski holders onto the crossbars. When choosing the bar shape, consider the method of accessory attachment. Quick-release box jaws require a certain profile width, and sport adapters are often slid directly into the T-track on the top side of the crossbar.
When packing for a family vacation, keep in mind that the total roof load capacity includes the weight of the crossbars themselves, the empty box, and the items inside. You can find the permitted limit in the vehicle manual. At the same time, the total height of the car increases with a load on the roof, which is good to keep in mind when entering underground garages.
Proceed to the selection of the set and match the crossbar parameters with your needs. You can find the entire model range on the Mercedes-Benz GLC page.
