Somthing about your market--they're standard in USA, but that doesn't mean everywhere.

Can you post a picture of your ML without the roof rack?
I was thinking of removing mine and wanted to see what it would look like.

Thanks!

You mean the side rails? Must be an option in your region. Not sure if they can be retrofitted, but I expect so.

Did you ever figure out a way to remove your roof racks? I am interested in doing the same and cannot find any information on it.

No I didn't do it in the end.
Read posts where people's roof ended up leaking even after MB techs did the removal work.
