Roof Rack
Anyone interested in a used roof rack? This is a factory Mercedes roof rack. I thought I would use it more.. But I normally use my Subaru whenever I go mountain biking. I will sell it for $225.00 obo. There aren't any problems with the rack and has been used very little. Please let me know if you have any questions. I will split shipping within the US.

Don't we have any Mountain bikers or Skiers out there? This is a must for your C300.

I'm a mountain biker and skier/snowboarder. I usually drive my Subaru Tribeca when I go do any of these activities. But am intrigued by this. Not sure what the wife will think when I bring this home. =/

I would be interested if it had round bars.

I have a Yakima roof rack from a previous car that has two fork mount bike carriers on it. But they only work with round bars.

Do you have a picture of how they attach to the roof? I would be interested to see what the mount points look like.

The install is pretty easy. A one man job. Slot A into Slot B. You can use Yakima and Thule racks. I used an adapter for the wider cross bar. One more thing about the MB rack... is that it doesn't actually touch the top of your car. It floats about 1/4 inch above the cars paint. No marking or rub marks from foot pads.

I am not sure if these are the exact ones I use, but they look similar to this:

ctrujill, thanks. I just got around to installing my rack. The plastic covers on the feet don't seem to sit very flush with the roof. Did yours?

Yes, the rack just hovers over the top of the car. It doesn't ever touch the paint. I think they did a good job of designing the rack. Let me know if you have any questions.
