To install an Inno square bar roof rack on your 2018 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 the correct components are part numbers # INB117, # INXP, and # INTR162 which does attach to the flush rails on the roof of your vehicle. Then you could install the Inno Gravity Ski Carrier part # INA951 for a 6 ski rack or part # INA952 for 3 skis. view full answer...
Hitch bike racks mount onto a trailer hitch receiver. There are currently not any trailer hitch receivers available for your 2021 Mercedes Benz GLA so you will want to go with a trunk-mounted bike rack instead. This is usually a cheaper and easier route anyways.
I recommend looking into Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # Y02634. This attaches to the trunk of your vehicle and allows you to safely hang 2 bikes on the bike rack. The points of the rack that make... view full answer...
All of the crossbar sizes of the Inno Aero crossbars that we have listed as confirm fits for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 are the available size options that Inno has for you based on your crossbar length needs for the vehicle. Depending on what accessories/cargo you need to transport, you can use more or less crossbar space. The length does determine how long the crossbars stick out past the feet. If you are planning on transporting a kayak, I recommend the longer roof rack bar system... view full answer...
The only two available trailer hitch options we offer for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA at this time is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75223 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13197. The Curt hitch has a higher weight capacity for more peace of mind while towing so this is what I recommend. view full answer...
The Thule Pulse like part # TH614 is their economy line so if you are looking for more premium features like increased aero you'd need to go with the Vector like part # TH613200. The Vector is 2" shorter and since the crossbars sit up inside the box more will have a much sleeker design. It also has tons of other premium features like dual sided openings and integrated lights. view full answer...
I do strongly recommend running a separate power wire from the # C59496 directly to the vehicle battery. A wiring harness must have its own dedicated circuit directly to the battery since the 12 volt accessory circuit was not designed to support the additional load of a trailer wiring harness. We have seen many instances where customers have tapped into a 12 volt accessory circuit, like a 12v power supply at the rear of the vehicle, and the harness failed. We have also seen instances where... view full answer...
The ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector and Installation Kit # 119250KIT is a universal wiring harness and will work with a 2-wire, 3-wire, PWM, and multiplex wiring systems.
With that being said, I went ahead and checked the instructions and the input wire used should be yellow to left turn/brake, green to right turn/brake, and brown to vehicle tail wire. view full answer...
From the research I did on your 2015 Mercedes GLA 250 it appears the vehicle has a tongue weight capacity of 345 lbs which you could verify in your owners manual or with a Mercedes dealer. So with a hitch installed like the Curt # C13197 you'd just need to stay under that weight and you'd be fine. view full answer...
The correct fit for your 2023 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55WR.
If you're needing the trailer hitch for a bike rack then I highly recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base # BA22B because it's easy to use, looks great, and has tremendous quality. Usually when people get this rack and install it on their vehicle they end up leaving it because they like how it looks. view full answer...
For your 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75223. This is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and a bolt-on installation. Out of all of the options available I like this one the best because it has a concealed cross tube. That means you have better clearance and a clean look since only the receiver is visible at the rear.
If you plan on towing you will also need the Tekonsha Powered Tail Light Converter w/ 4-Way Flat # 119147KIT. For... view full answer...
The best trailer wiring option we have for your 2015 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 is the ZCI kit part # 119250KIT as it installs with sensors that attach to the taillight wiring of your vehicle instead of requiring splices like the other options do. view full answer...
I would be happy to take a look at any pictures you would want to send. I would however need to see some numbers on it to identify a replacement key for your lock. I attached a picture of a lock core below to show you what to look for. Without that information I wouldn't be much help and you'd need to contact Mercedes. view full answer...
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. view full answer...
I was able to locate an online owner's manual for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250 and it mentioned on page 302 that the vehicle can use snow tire chains, so long as they are on the front wheels only.
Since you mentioned you have 19 inch wheels, your tire size should be 235/45-19 (though I recommend verifying that). For that tire size, the snow tire chains I strongly recommend for your Mercedes are the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains # TH01594240.
The reason these are the best chains... view full answer...
I wish there was, but the only trailer hitch receivers available for your 20116 Mercedes-Ben GLA 45 AMG are class III with a 2" receiver.
Between the available hitches I recommend the Curt # C13197 due to it being made here in the USA and having a tougher powdercoat finish than competitors.
This hitch has a hidden crosstube so only the receiver itself is visible once installed as you can see in the included picture.
If you are needing a 1-1/4" receiver for one of your existing accessories... view full answer...
We have not yet had the opportunity to install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C55WR on a 2021 Mercedes-Benz GLA. This hitch does have a bolt-on installation, and the heat shield must be modified or trimmed. Although we do not yet have an installation video, I have attached the written instructions for your reference. view full answer...
The Curt # C13197 Class III hitch is a confirmed fit of all 2015 models of the Mercedes-Benz GLA.
I don't have any specific installer recommendations other than our staff at our facility in Wentzville MO, but I'd recommend using a reputable body shop in your area to do the install for you. As you can see in the video I've linked for you, the installation is pretty extensive, involving temporarily removing the rear bumper and fascia as well as the taillight assemblies. A body shop would... view full answer...
Thanks for reaching out!
I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e42KR for carrying a bike with your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA because it has a matte black finish that looks more durable and does a great job at hiding any dings or scratches that can result from road debris.
If you don't already have a bike rack I recommend checking out the Kuat NV 2.0 which is available in Gunmetal Gray # NV22G and Metallic Black # NV22B. I like this rack because it not only looks great but... view full answer...
