Roof Rails?

Does anyone know if rails for a luggage carrier is available for the E350?
I see some kind of flaps on each corner of the roof but, not sure what they're for anf the dealer has been of little help.
Want to mount a Thele fiberglass carrier

E-320 Bluetec
I looked on Yakima's site when I was considering adding a bike rack to the Bluetec. I'd be hesitant to put their q-towers on my pano roof, a better way to go might be the dealer rack, it's not much more than their base rack package, and would likely look and fit better. Not sure how the space cases attach, the yakima stuff I have on top of my YukonXL are all made to fit their round bars and the MB rack's bars look kind of oblong in the pix. That's my 2¢.

Those flaps are there to allow you to install a roof rail system. Most likely those available directly from Mercedes Benz.

No idea on quality / cost though. Good Luck.

Hmmm...seems the MB basic rack may be the only game in town if the Yakima Q towers are'nt up to the task

Or, you can order Thule system from the UK.

Thule USA doesn't want to know.
