SportRack does not list fit information for the 2009 Mercedes-Benz R350, however, we can determine if the SportRack Horizon Cargo Box, # SR7016, will fit based on the dimensions of your roof rack. This cargo box will fit most factory roof racks with a minimum crossbar spread of 23-5/8 inches. The crossbar spread is measured from the center of the front crossbar to the center of the rear crossbar. Also, the crossbars cannot be wider than 3-1/4 inches.

If your R350 does not have a roof rack, then you will need to add a roof rack to carry a rooftop cargo box. To add a roof rack, I recommend installing the Thule Roof Rack which consists of the Thule WingBars, # TH711200 or # TH711220, the Podium Foot Pack, # TH460R, and the Fit Kit, # THKIT3038.

The Horizon cargo box is compatible with the Podium roof rack, so you will have no issues. Before loading any cargo on the roof of your vehicle. I recommend reviewing your owners manual or contacting a local Mercedes dealer to verify the weight capacity of your roof.
