Crossbars for the first generation Mercedes-Benz M-Class designated as W163 from 1997 to 2005. The offer includes sets designed for raised rails, with which this SUV left the factory.
The first generation M-Class has raised rails on the roof that stand directly above the surface and have a gap underneath along their entire length. The carrier foot is secured by clamping them from both the inside and outside.
Before attaching the crossbars, we recommend washing the rails and removing dust or old dirt so that the feet fit precisely and firmly. You can always find the exact list of components for each set directly in the product detail, where you can also verify the locking mechanism.
Production of the W163 generation ended in 2005, when the newer version took over. If you have a vehicle from this exact year, check the body shape and vehicle registration document to ensure it is not already the successor designated as W164.
Different generations may require different mounting, so when choosing, follow the exact model series and roof design.
With the M-Class, you have to count on a higher body structure. When loading bicycles or filling a roof box, it helps to open the door and step on the sill edge.
With a loaded box or bicycle carriers, the overall height of the car changes, which is important to monitor before entering covered garages and underpasses. Do not forget to include not only the cargo in the maximum permissible roof load, but also the box and crossbars themselves, while the exact weight limit of the vehicle can be found in the car manual.
Choose a suitable set according to the crossbar shape in the offer. If you are looking for carriers for another period or vehicle, go to the M-Class category or the general Mercedes-Benz brand overview.
