Genuine Mercedes-Benz Roof Racks

All About Roof Racks

Find yourself cramming your car or SUV full of baggage wherever you can fit it? There's a better way to haul gear. Simply install a roof rack and cross bar system. Some automotive brands may call them "luggage racks" or "roof rails," but all three are similar, and they share a few common traits, each of which makes them great for the job.

First off, they're exceptionally durable, being made of rugged metals such as steel or aluminum. (In contrast, older roof racks were wooden.) Factor in crossbars, and they can distribute cargo weight better and more evenly.

Secondly, installing them is easy. All you have to do is put together their modular towers and feet. The fitting kit you need for the job is almost always included.

Third, they all provide anchor points galore for tie-downs. This makes securing your luggage a matter of course. Many can even double as kayak racks or bike racks, making them ideal for outdoor pursuits. Select models even incorporate locks to help stop theft.

So, which roof rack is best for your Mercedes-Benz? That depends. Some cars have them, as do most crossover SUVs, but many coupes and sports cars, for instance, don't. If your ride supports one, the answer's straightforward: the genuine OEM article.

Why Buy a Genuine OEM Roof Rack

It'll be designed guaranteed to fit your model. That's something that the aftermarket can't always assure.
