E Wagon roof rack, "cross rails"???
Hi,
I'm looking for info on roof rack cross rails for a 2013 E350 Wagon.
MB accessories such as the bike rack rail etc would mount to these two
cross rails.
FYI, I did search the MB site and several others like parts.com.
They both show these roof rack rails for E sedans which have no stucture
on the roof.
The E Wagon already has two nice factory rails, running front to back so
the roof rack with feet is not needed.
Any wagon owners have a roof rack system, from MB??
Thanks

E after ML
Hi,
I had a 2005 ML 500 SE and went for the E350 Wagon. Not many miles on it but so far----lovin' it.
No small V8 offered in Wagon and I thought I'd miss it BUT the E V6 has slightly more HP, the E weighs less, it has 7 speed tranny so end result is I'm impressed with the powertrain.
It handles better with less weight/lower profile and the E interior feels supremely luxurious.
Only 400 miles but the more I drive it the more I like it.
Issues? ----- The E cabin feels a little cramped after the ML, like lesser front seat volume/ head is closer to top of windshield, kind of a more closed in feeling. I'll get used to it. Same for missing the raised seating in the ML and the better view of the road it offered. I'll get used to that too.
IMO I find the E Wagon one of the hottest looking vehicles out there. I like the E Sedan look and love the E Wagon look.
