Verification of raised rails on the roof

The third generation M-Class uses raised rails. You can recognize them by the fact that they stand above the roof and there is free space along their entire length through which you can easily slip your fingers. The rack foot firmly grips this rail from both the outside and the inside.

Before ordering, check the detail of the selected product, where you will find a breakdown of individual parts of the given set as well as the assembly procedure.

Practical tips for a tall SUV

W166 belongs to larger cars, so securing the load requires a bit of dexterity. When fastening the feet to the roof, it helps if you open the door and stand on the side step, or use a stable step stool.

Also keep in mind the increase in total height after mounting a roof box or loading bikes. The taller silhouette may limit you when entering covered garages, car washes and underground parking lots.

Selection of profile and accessories

Choose crossbars according to what accessories you plan to attach to them. Aluminum bars with a top T-slot facilitate the attachment of modern sports equipment carriers, while steel profiles are usually combined with traditional U-shaped clamps. When loading, also consider the weight of the crossbars themselves and the box, while the total roof load limit can be found in the vehicle manual.

Older versions of this model can be found under generations W164 and W163, or browse the entire M-Class category. Choose suitable crossbars and prepare your car for the next trip.
