• Recommended Thule AirScreen Fairing For Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Bars
• The Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for Raised, Factory Side Rails part # TH7503 measure 39" long so I recommend the Thule AirScreen XT Fairing for Roof Racks 38" long part # TH72WV for the Aeroblade bars to cut down on wind noise.

• Will The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Fit My 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLS Factory Hitch?
• Just make sure that there is less than 11 inches from the hitch pin hole on your hitch to the edge of your bumper on your 2020 Mercedes GLS. If so, you'll be able to use it without any clearance issues. The Sherpa does come with a hitch and bike cable lock so no need to buy them separate. I like the pearl color on the Sherpa 2.0 # SH22P but it comes in black # SH22B and Grey # SH22G. One attachment I like using with the Sherpa is the Pivot # PVP20B swing away system. It'll allow you to...

• Determining If Rear Doors On Vehicle Can Open With Curt Cargo Carrier Installed
• I would be happy to help you find if you will be able to open the rear doors of your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the 60x19 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches # C18100. You will need to measure from the inside top of edge of your 2" receiver opening to the bottom of the doors on your Sprinter. If this measurement is greater that 2-3/4"" you will be able to open your doors when the carrier is empty without issues. Then it will depend on the height of the cargo that you add. Additionally,...

• Distance Between Brackets of a Draw-Tite Hitch for a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500
• For your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, there are two Draw-Tite hitches available depending on what kind of bumper you have. For the 170" wheelbase with a factory step bumper, the hitch you referenced, part # 75601, is the one to choose. As you said, this will not fit the rare 30-3/8" wide frames as that is too narrow. The distance between the brackets of this hitch is 39-3/8". You may need to measure the frame again to see if this will fit. I've linked to a video installation of a...

• How to Mount a Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack on a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan
• The blue straps for the Thule Passage 3 Bike Rack, part # TH911XT will connect to slightly different places than they normally do on a 2007 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Your top straps will go at the front edge of the top of the trunk, while your bottom straps will go along the bottom of the trunk, and you'll make sure that your carrier's bottom arm is on the upper tier of the bumper. Thule also recommends removing the rack if you do not plan on using it. I've included a video of a 2013 Lincoln...

• Bike Rack Recommendation For A 2015 Mercedes-Benz E- Class
• I have an option available for you to haul a bike on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz E- Class. The best way to do this is with our SeaSucker Komodo Trunk Bike Rack part # 298-BK1910-BK. Unfortunately, they currently do not have a hitch receiver compatible with your vehicle nor do they make a roof rack for a convertible therefore, your only option is a trunk mounted bike rack. This bike rack features a vacuum cup design that will not scratch or dent your car's surface.

• Which Receiver and Trigger Lock for 2" Receiver and Wesco Trailer with Trigger Latch Coupler
• Since your 2015 Mercedes Benz GLA-Class has a 2" hitch receiver, the Bulldog Lifelong Trigger-Style Coupler Lock and 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BD580404 will fit on your hitch as long as the outside measurements on the tube are not greater than 2-1/2". When it comes to the coupler lock, as long as the trigger-latch on your coupler is not wider than 3/4", the included coupler lock will also work on your Wesco trailer (this is the most common trigger latch size).

• Can Longer Thule Roof Rack Crossbars Be Used on a 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300
• While there are some reasons why you would not want to go with longer crossbars, in your case you can safely upgrade from the 47" to the 53" without issue. A couple of the reasons why you wouldn't want to go to longer bars would be that the mounting channel on the bottom of the crossbar would be too wide to use the feet and you do not want your crossbars to be wider than your side mirrors. I looked up your 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and it is 82.5" wide with the side mirrors. So these...

• Swing Away Hitch Extender Recommendation for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Motorhome and E-Bikes
• I really like the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender # PVP20B because it's easy to use and install. I've personally messed with a handful of these swing away extenders and it's just really practical. The other options are okay but they feel over-engineered and can have a few more steps involved for a simple process. Please note that using something a swing away extender cuts the weight rating of your hitch in half so you need to make sure the weight of your bike rack plus bikes won't...

• Correct Size Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box for a 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450
• I spoke with Thule for you and confirmed that the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629906 is a fit for a 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 with factory roof rack. However, in order to be sure that you can open the hatch fully with the cargo box in place you'll need to measure the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the point where the roof and hatch meet on your roof. If it's more than 55" you'll be good to go but if not you might want to step down to the Thule Motion XT...

• Trailer Hitch That Fits 2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 Wagon

• How to Determine Fit of 55 x 49 Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars
• You'll need to do just a bit of measuring to determine if you can use the Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars - 55" Long x 49" Wide # Y05044-39. I have added diagrams from Yakima below that show you exactly what to measure and the measurements you need to have in order to use the # Y05044-39, which is platform size K. From inside to inside of your roof rack towers the measurement needs to be at least 34" and 45-1/4", and from center to center of your towers (front to back) it...

• Least Visible Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Mercedes GLA250
• Though we have not yet done an install of either the Draw-Tite # DT72MR or the Curt # C55WR on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, I did mange to find a couple pictures of each hitch installed. With that being said, you are correct in that the Draw-Tite will be slightly less visible/exposed than the Curt. I do have to say that it is pretty marginal though, and the picture I found for the Draw-Tite isn't the best, so just a heads up.

• Recommended Electric Trailer Brake Controller For A 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300
• To tow a trailer with electric brakes with your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 you'll need an electric brake controller. I recommend the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller # C27JR along with the Universal Wiring Adapter for Curt Trailer Brake Controllers # C51515, which will splice into your factory wiring allowing for a simple plug-in of the # C27JR. The Bluetooth function of this brake controller will allow you to use your smart phone or tablet to control and monitor your braking...
