The Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box # Y07337 referenced in your question is compatible with most OEM crossbars. To ensure that this will work with the roof rack crossbars on your 2017 Mercedes S550 I recommend taking a couple quick measurements on the roof rack. As long as the crossbars on your vehicle measure less than 3-1/2 inches wide and are shorter than 1-11/16 inches, the Yakima SkyBox will mount to the bars without issue.

I have attached a short video demonstration on this cargo box that you can also check out.
