Expert Reply:
The Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mounted Bike Carrier, Item # TH910XT, is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. It will provide stability to transport two bikes and mounts to the rear of your Mercedes-Benz with six integrated straps. Because part of the mounting involves the rear bumper cover there is a possibility for it to be deformed by this or any bike carrier accessory because of the additional strain placed on it.
For women's and alternative frame bikes, you will need the Thule Adapter Bar, Item # TH982XT. For security, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap, Item # TH533.
I have attached additional information for you to check out to help with your project.
