It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 GLA 250
  • We have a trunk mounted bike rack that has been confirmed to fit your 2015 Mercedes GLA that has a spoiler, but the Saris Bones that you referenced is not the correct one. Instead you would want the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2 as it has been confirmed to fit you vehicle. I attached a review video for you to check out as well. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out...

  • Konig Tire Chains to Fit 235/50R18 Tires on 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 4-Matic
  • All tire chains fit multiple tire sizes. The Konig Low-Pro chains # TH04115103 that you referenced fit several sizes but they do not fit your 235/50R18 tires. Chains that do fit your tire size appear on the linked page. These are all low-profile S-Class chains that feature automatic tension control for the most secure installation on your 235/50R18 tires. The compatible Konig chains most similar to those you looked at are their K-Summit chains # TH02230K45. These are premium-quality chains...

  • Parts Needed for Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers on 2016 Mercedes GLA 250
  • In addition to the # TH711200 and # TH460R you will also need the foot pack # THKIT4049 to complete your roof rack kit.This will give you a great looking roof rack with aerodynamic crossbars that will reduce wind noise that normally comes with installing a roof rack. With that said, the issue you're going to run up against is twofold. First, the crossbars are only 47" long, and fitting 3 kayaks is going to be a tight squeeze on those bars; secondly, although the # TH711200 crossbars have...

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250
  • The Hatch Huggers for Saris Trunk Mount Bike Racks part # SA3035 that you referenced are an alternative for the metal coated hooks that are included with most Saris trunk mount bike racks. They are used when the hooks would be attached to a glass or plastic surface to prevent damaged. The problem you have with your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250 is that the straps would create too much downward pressure on the spoiler which would in turn cause damage. Therefore, the Hatch Huggers nor will any...

  • Will Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box Fit on 2017 Mercedes GLA
  • The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 referenced in your question is compatible with round, square, aero, elliptical and most factory crossbar roof rack systems. If you have roof rack crossbars already installed on your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLA and they are less than 3-1/2 inches wide and 1-11/16 inches tall, the Yakima cargo box will work great. If you do not yet have a roof rack installed and your vehicle has flush mounted rails that run front to back, I recommend the Thule...

  • Yes, the Inno Square Crossbar Kit including parts # INB117, # INXP, and # INTR162 are a confirmed fit for your 2018 Mercedes GLA45 AMG. We can't recommend using duct tape between the mounting feet and your factory rails.

These feet are designed to fit without scratch or damage so you can feel good about this solution. I have also included...

  • Speed Limit for Thule Low-Pro Self Tensioning Snow Chains Installed on 2015 Mercedes-Benz GLA Class
  • Thule lists a maximum speed limit for their tire chains of 50 kph, which is about 30 mph, which is about as fast as you'll want to go if the road conditions warrant the use of snow chains. Before purchasing or using tire chains, be sure to consult your owner's manual and follow any advice about tire chain usage. It's a good idea to do a 'dry run' and practice installing the chains. Familiarizing yourself with the installation procedure while in your driveway or in your garage would be...

  • Are Side Rails Required for the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top on a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class
  • According to Hollywood Rack, the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 can be installed on your 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class using the included hatch hugger straps. There will not be any downward pressure on the spoiler with the hatch huggers so even if you do not have side rails on your GLA, you can still use this bike rack. I have attached a photo for you that shows how the hatch huggers will look once installed so you can see there is no contact with the spoiler.

  • The only size hitch we offer for your 2015 Mercedes GLA Class is the 2 inch size like the part # 75223 which is a confirmed fit. You could use a sleeve adapter like part # HT02 with your Kuat Sherpa 2.0 part # SH12G but you may see a bit of movement on the rack.

  • Hitch Fits and Cargo Carrying Options for 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250
  • If you were needing the hitch to provide a mounting point for a bike rack, we do have options available for you. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA is the first year of a new generation, and unfortunately the hitch manufacturers haven't come up with a hitch fit as of yet although I'm told there will be some fits available by mid-spring. Unfortunately, the # C13294 you'd mentioned is a fit for the previous generation GLA class and wouldn't be a fit for your 2020 model. If you were needing a hitch...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Mercedes GLA 250 to Carry a 235 Pound Motorcycle
  • There are a couple of things you will want to check first before attempting to carry the motorcycle on your 2015 Mercedes GLA 250. First, consult the vehicle owners manual to determine the tongue weight capacity of the vehicle. If it is lower than the tongue weight capacity of the hitch then you must go by the lower rating. So let's say that the vehicle tongue weight capacity is 350 pounds just like the hitch # C13197. That means the combined weight of the carrier and the motorcycle cannot...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes GLA 250 For Towing Jet Ski Trailer
  • We have just what you would need to tow a jet ski trailer with your 2016 Mercedes GLA 250. For a hitch you would want the Draw Tite part # 75223 which is a confirmed fit with more than enough capacity. The exhaust would need to be temporarily lowered to install this hitch (this is a very common install step for hitches), but there would be no permanent modification. The heat shield would also need to be slightly modified as well. A local garage with a good reputation would have no problem...

  • Can Snow Chains be Installed on 2019 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 4Matic
  • I pulled up the owners manual of your 2019 Mercedes Benz GLA 250 4Matic and the following sizes can have tire chains used with them but only on the front axle: 215/60R17 215/55R18 For the 17 inch wheel size the best option is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115103. I recommend these chains highly as they offer excellent traction, will last a long time, and because they install in a matter of seconds. For the same chain set for the 18 inch wheel size you'll want the part # TH2004735235...

  • Will a Trailer Hitch Interfere with the Foot Tailgate Activation on a 2018 Mercedes GLA 250
  • Installing a trailer hitch, like the Curt # C13197 that you referenced, on a vehicle like your 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA-250 with the foot activated tailgate will slightly interfere with the activation. Typically you will wave your foot right where the hitch receiver sits. When you install a trailer hitch you will simply need to kick straight out to the left or right of the receiver openening to activate your tailgate. Installation instructions have been attached for you to reference, but...

  • 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). These locks are designed...

  • Will Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top Trunk-Mount Bike Carrier Fit 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLA250
  • The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top, part # HRF2 would work great on your GLA250. This bike carrier is designed especially for vehicles that have a rear spoiler like your SUV has. The # HRF2 can carry 2-bikes that weigh up to 35-lbs each. The rack will fold up for easy storage when not in use. If you plan on carrying three bikes you can use part # HRF2-3. If you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kids bikes or women's bikes I recommend using an adapter bar like...

  • Trailer Hitch and 7-Way Trailer Connector for a 2015 Mercedes Benz GLA250
  • You certainly can add a hitch and wiring to your 2015 Mercedes GLA250. For a trailer hitch the most popular option is Curt hitch # C13197. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. For wiring in order to add a 7-Way you will first have to install a 4-Way. The only harness available that does NOT require splicing into the vehicle wiring is the ZCI harness # 119250KIT. Then to add a 7-Way you will need # ETBC7....
