Mercedes New Roof Boxes 590/430
Howdy folks,
Apparently Mercedes refreshed their rooftop cargo accessories recently; both the carrier bars (for more aerodynamics) and their cargo roof box lineup (to include a more aerodynamic 430 and now 590L box)!!
Does anyone have a photo of these new boxes IN REAL LIFE? I'm wondering how their shape looks versus the previous version that I'm familiar with.
If I end up buying the 590 before anyone replies, then I'll post some photos of it on my GLS.
Thanks
Joel

Here she is! -- The box on my GLS
I would prefer it sat farther back from the windshield, but the new bar mounts won't actually fit any farther to the rear. :/
Much wider from side to side, that's how they got 140L more space apparently. It doesn't appear any taller than the 450 I had before.
The new design utilized a twist-locking clamp instead of the older square screws that slide into the channel.
