I have a solution for you, but the EcoHitch Stealth # 306-X7313 is designed for VW Tiguans and not the Mercedes Benz GLC-Class 300. Instead, I recommend using the Curt # C13290 which is a confirmed fit on the GLC-Class 300 and will provide you with the same concealed look that makes the EcoHitch Stealth such an attractive option.

If you're going to be using your hitch for towing a small trailer, you will also need a wiring harness, ball mount and hitch ball. I've gone ahead and linked those parts for you below, as well as some helpful installation videos that you may want to have a look at if you're going to be installing these yourself.

Wiring: Curt # C59236 custom wiring

Ball Mount Kit # 989900 (comes with 2 ball mounts, 1-7/8" and 2" hitch ball, hitch pin, clip and a carrying bag)

Is there a hitch for the GLC SUV that does not involve having to remove the bumper bump? And thus perhaps effect collision integrity.

Both trailer hitches available for your 2018 GLC300 (linked below) do require removal of the bumper beam, although in both cases it's re-installed after the hitch in place. They won't negatively affect the bumper or frame's integrity.
