Will a Thule Channel Mount Bike Carrier Fit Channel In OEM Mercedes Roof Rack
Question:
Are any of the Thule or Yakima rooftop bike racks with a fork-mount design compatible with Mercedes Benz OEM crossbars for a 2014 L350? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
Possibly but it depends on who makes the factory roof racks for Mercedes. If I had to guess I would say it is more than likely Thule but you may want to ask a dealership or look over the roof rack closely for any indication of a manufacturer.
The Thule AeroBlade bar T-Slot has an opening of 1/2 inch at the top, and the wider part at the bottom is 3/4 inches across. Compare this to the T-Slot on your Mercedes roof rack. If it is the same then you could use the Thule ProRide, # TH598004. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
