The Mercedes-Benz GLK compact SUV was produced in a single generation and features raised roof rails.
Select the X204 generation and choose a crossbar set tailored to your car.
Choosing a rack for this model is straightforward. Mercedes-Benz produced the GLK under the X204 codename from 2008 until 2015, when it was replaced by the GLC. Therefore, you do not need to hesitate between multiple distinct body styles. The deciding factor is the date of first registration or the year of manufacture listed in your vehicle registration document.
For the Mercedes-Benz GLK, crossbars are available exclusively for raised roof rails. You can easily recognize this type by the fact that the entire structure stands above the roof, and you can easily slide your fingers between it and the sheet metal along its entire length. The feet of the racks are secured by directly clamping around the profile of the rail.
Before purchasing, check the contents of the specific package in the product details so you know exactly how the set is assembled and whether it includes locks or a mounting wrench.
The relatively flat roof provides a good foundation for mounting a roof box as well as ski or bicycle holders. The GLK is among the taller cars, so when loading bicycles, it helps to open the door and step on the door sill. Also, keep in mind that with a box or bikes on the roof, the overall height of the vehicle changes significantly, requiring caution when entering underground garages and covered parking lots.
