We do have a way to add a large platform rack to your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris. What you will need to do is add a roof rack from Yakima, which you can then attach a Yakima Platform tray to. Here are all the parts you need, starting with the roof rack, and then the tray.

Roof Rack
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 (Black)
- SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR
- Landing Pad 22 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00248
- Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204

Platform Tray
- Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack for Crossbars # Y05045-39

This will give you a robust platform tray for the top of your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris so you can carry your gear. The LockNLoad has a bunch of really useful accessories as well to tie down and haul a bunch of different cargo. I recommend checking out the Spare Tire Carrier # Y05032, Load Stops # Y01161, and Eye Bolts # Y01162.
