2020 GLS 450
Roof box and rack ?
I am interested in getting a genuine Mercedes roof box and bars for our new 2020 GLS 450
google searching has doing a few sources but I don’t think they fit the 2020 GLS. They may fit. It when looking for fitment on the websites they lost 2019 but not 2020. Are the racks different?

A gaggle of MB's
Let me give you some advice.... in the selection of Roof-Bars there are "better" choices than MM OE bars in two respects - one. you can get roof bars that are "taller" that allow you to use sunroof, and you can also get bars that are "quieter" that have a better aerodynamic profile when traveling at speed.
On Roof Boxes .. there are different choices for what you want to do... and several of those choices are less expensive... using a non-MB box also allows you down the road to recapture value by private sale to any non-MB owner
See this outlook on a 2020 GLS with Thule "towers" (uprights and Thule bars..
