Put my roof rack and it looks stunning oem too. What do you guys think? I still have another one in great condition let me know.

 

looks sick. I was looking for an OEM one for my 500E. They are tough to come by.

 

Yeah. A 500e and a 300e use the same rack.

 

All the sedans do. The coupe use a special threaded mount, and the wagon only needs the cross bars.

 

Here is a good example of the OEM set I'm looking for.

They won't be easy to find, but they'll turn up on EBay sooner or later!

That's the set I have and the other one I'm selling

 

I'll sell you my spare set

 

That set in your picture looks like it was manufactured in the last couple of years, I want the OEM one which would have been produced 15 to 20 years ago. They are probably both Thule products, and likely the same exact mechanical design though. The OEM one also appears to only come in black, which to me looks better. I just personally would prefer not to put such a new looking design on a car of such vintage. I know its knitpicky but thats how I am about my cars, can't help it.

 

this is the original roof rack from what I understand. It is not a repop or late model roof rack.

 

You can post a picture of it if you like, but I'm 99% sure what you have is a new version of an old OEM design. Thule holds the patents on these things, they probably just licensed it to MB for the run of the model line and a few years after for replacements. When the license is finished, Thule takes the MB logos off and puts theirs back on and puts them back on the shelves and sells them cheaper. If yours was an older OEM version from MB, it wouldn't have the modern brush silver crossbars and those nice plastic end caps.

 

Well my dads been a parts guy for the past 35 years and he's told me they only came in brahed silver. That guy must have painted the bars. Mine are def oem

 

Post a pic of the unistalled one so I can have a look. If it is, maybe I'll take it. There aren't any MB or 124 markings on the end caps, right?

 

It has marking from mb and says w124.

 

So I'm interested, post some pictures.

 

Here are some pics didn't have time for the w124 logo pic. I'll take one when I get home.

 

how much?
