Hi all

My 2011 GL500 has the genuine MB chrome effect cross bars fitted and they are curved across the top of the vehicle but all the roof boxes I've seen listed appear to be fitted with flat cross bars, do i need a particular box or do I need different bars if I'm fitting a box please?

Thanks

Carl

My old rocketbox fits with no issues.

If you want a no frills roof top box that'll get the job done....

This box only needs a 2 ft bar spacing

I have this box for my Mazda CX-5. I've taken it from NYC to Chicago, and NYC to Orlando. No problems. It holds all the shopping items from the outlets :-)

Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but how do the boxes attach to the cross bars please?

is it me or does it look lowered

Good eye! Even with lower profile tires on 350, that vehicle looks low both front and back. If back only, I'd say maybe it had just been loaded down and not yet started, so airmatic had not leveled out. But front looks equally low.

Got a M1 lowering module installed so it fits in the garage with the space case.

I"m telling you, this thing looks so much better than the 2013+! They removed the wide body flares and the taillights look super feminine looking. The Last one looks like a true Mercedes and the newer one looks like van. No joke!
