Practical Hints
Luggage or Ski Racks
We recommend the use of drip rail
mounted ski and roof racks. This
type of rack does not require addi­
tional supports (suction cups or
legs). Such supports may lead to
marring of the paint or even denting
of the roof if excessive weight is
placed on the rack. Your
MERCEDES-BENZ dealer can give
further advice.
