Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use only
roof racks that have been tested and approved
for Mercedes-Benz. These help to prevent vehicle
damage.
If you want to retrofit the mounting rails, have
them installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Otherwise, you could damage the vehicle.
If your vehicle is fitted with mounting rails on the
roof, you can install a roof rack on the roof. Spe‐
cial fasteners (sliding blocks) are available as
accessories for this purpose.
These fasteners are available from any Mercedes-
Benz service centre.
