Would this Eyebolt Fit Directly to 2015 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Factory Rack?

Question:

Trying to install something directly To the factory rack on the roof of my 2015 Mercedes Sprinter . Would like to be able to connect hammock above the slide door or above the back Door using eyebolt? Want to eliminate need to buy expensive roof rack just for that purpose. Let me know what you think, or you have something even better that would serve the purpose and not “brake the bank”? Thank you!

I do not have exact specifications on the racks used on your 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter but accessories like the Eyebolts for Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Crossbars part # RRREB will work in most heavy duty crossbar applications.

Hanging a hammock from it would give me a little reservation and I would be extremely careful the first time. There is no stated weight rating on them from Rhino Rack but I'm also sure they weren't expecting them to be used for this application.
