Will the Malone DownLoader Fit Inno Aero Crossbars on My 2020 Mercedes GLA 250?

Question

Question:

Hello, I figure out the right rack size for my 2020 MB GLA 250. Your website shows three different Inno Aero Crossbars length combinations: 48-51, 45-48, and 36-39. Which one will fit? Or is it just how much they stick out on the sides? A perhaps you can also tell if my Malone Kayak rack will fit. https://maloneautoracks.com/Downloader-TM.html Thank you for the help.

All of the crossbar sizes of the Inno Aero crossbars that we have listed as confirm fits for your 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 are the available size options that Inno has for you based on your crossbar length needs for the vehicle. Depending on what accessories/cargo you need to transport, you can use more or less crossbar space. The length does determine how long the crossbars stick out past the feet. If you are planning on transporting a kayak, I recommend the longer roof rack bar system with the following parts:

- Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 48" Long and 51" Long - Qty 2 # INXB123-130
- Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 # INXS450
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS300, XS350, XS400, XS450, INTR, and INXR Roof Rack Feet # INTR162

The Malone DownLoader # MPG114MD will fit the Inno Aero Crossbars but only by using the top channels of the Inno crossbars. For attaching the DownLoader to the top channels, you will need the T-slot hardware kit # MPG8287. The DownLoader also comes with the option to attach the Telos XL Load Assist # MPG351XL that attaches right onto the DownLoader. If you want the DownLoader that already comes paired with the Telos XL Load Assist, I recommend part # MPG114MD-351XL. The Telos XL Load Assist makes it easy to hoist your kayak on top of your 2020 Mercedes GLA 250. I went ahead and attached a video to show how it functions.
