There are other ways to carry bikes on your 2014 Mercedes-Benz GLK without having a trailer hitch. I recommend adding a roof rack. The most popular rack for the 2014 GLK, and a rack I highly recommend, is the Thule WingBar Roof Rack using # TH711400 and # TH710401. The WingBars have an aerodynamic shape that help cut down on wind noise and drag from traditional square crossbars. These crossbars are made from a lightweight, durable aluminum. I've attached a review video of these crossbars for you. The WingBars also come in black # TH711420.

A great rooftop bike carrier is the Yakima FrontLoader Wheel Mount Bike Carrier # Y02103.This bike rack will secure the bike at the front and rear tires, without requiring you to remove the front tire. The wheel-mount design helps protect the bike frame since the carrier makes no contact with the frame. The rear wheel tray is adjustable to fit a variety of bike sizes and the integrated, lockable cable helps keep the bike secure on the rack. To carry 2 bikes, you would want 2 of the # Y02103 carriers. I've attached a review video of this rack for you.
