Cross bars
Hi all,

I was able to fit the cross bars from my 2018 GLS450 onto my 2021 although they only work in the middle of the roof bars. Any downside to not buying new ones? Seems like they are attached solidly. Thanks.

Can you post a photo of your installation of the 2021 vehicle with 2018 crossbars? What risk or downside do you anticipate?

Any issues with the installation or use? I'm in the same boat with just picking up an X167.

Thanks.

I really like my Inno (Japanese) crossbars because they take around 3-4min to install or remove them so I never leave them on.
