There is an easy way to determine if a bike carrier will work for your GLK.

You will need a tape measure and a straight edge like a yardstick or a dowel. Place the straight edge vertically against the back of the rear bumper, letting it extend below the trailer hitch receiver opening. Then measure from the center of the hitch pin to the straight edge. This will give you the distance you need to clear the bumper.

The Kuat Sherpa 2-Bike Rack, part # SH12B is a really nice bike carrier and will work well for you. This lightweight aluminum carrier weighs just 29 lbs and is designed to handle bikes with a wheelbase up to 44 inches and tires up to 2-3/4 inches wide. This bike rack measures 8-5/8 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the bike platform when it is in the down position and 5-1/8 inches when it is folded up.
