To mount a Yakima LockNLoad Platform Rack on your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Metris with a naked roof we first need a roof rack system with crossbars as Yakima doesn't have a direct fit for the LockNLoad as of right now (February 2022). For a roof rack I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo system:
60" WingBar Evo Crossbars - # TH711520
Rapid Podium Feet - # TH460R
Fit Kit - # THKIT3029
Lock Kit - # TH450400 (optional)
Then you can use the 60" Long x 54" Wide LockNLoad # Y05045 with 2 sets of the Crossbar Clamps # Y05039. I believe the issue with fitting the LockNLoad directly to your roof is the sides of the platform are included in that overall measurement so since your mounting points are at 62" the footprint is too wide, but this roof rack combination is an alternative solution.
