Question:

Do you have recommendation for a 2 bike trunk-mounted rack to fit a 2013 Mercedes C350? I am a returning customer

We have a few options for trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2013 Mercedes C-350. I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. This is Thule's top of the line trunk mount carrier. It can be locked to the vehicle to deter theft of the rack and the bikes can also lock to the carrier.

This rack attaches to the vehicle using only 2 rubber coated straps (instead of 6 straps like other racks). This limits the contact with the vehicle and also makes installation and removal quick and easy. I use the 3-bike version and it is by far the easiest to use trunk mount carrier I have come across.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.

I have also included a link to all of the 2-bike trunk mounted carriers that fit your Merc.
