Yakima Bike rack system with Thule Kayak supports

Anybody else ever equip their e500 with water sports or any recreational system? would be nice to see pics or video. I have a video, I would like to share, It cut off abruptly from a incoming call, so I apologize in advance.


And can we install a hitch on the rear of our cars? if so where can i get this done or buy the hitch and have it installed? I would love to have it so that i can pull my wave runner or inflatable west marine. Don't want to depend on the truck all the time. Thanks

Dude. Seriously. Did you not look at the link I posted? Search. Threads aplenty on Curt hitches installed on W211's, even with step-by-step instructions and pictures. 30-minute install... tops.

I did look and all of the curt hitches I found were on sub mercedes vehicles. But don't trip, I actually should have know to call up my local indy that specializes in modding hitches to vehicle and such, He said mercedes don't put them on their cars, because of looks and other reason, but in germany they are on may cars and He told me to go with Curt and he would order and install the part for me as well as the wiring harness . Thank anyways though

I have no clue what a "sub mercedes vehicle" is and not really understanding the rest of your post. As I said before, the link I gave you is to threads of people with W211's putting Curt hitches on their E-Class cars... E320's, E350's, E500's, E55's etc. I have one on mine. In that link is this thread, with Miguk_Saram posting instructions and pictures to boot: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w...ted-again.html I'm not sure what else you need.

sub (SUV simple typo, most would read the sentence and know this. as for your link, the original did not work, hence the reason I found nothing. But all is good now, and I just had mine installed this morning with wiring harness. I will load pics and a video to show it, thanks for your information.
