What Flush Crossbar System do You Recommend for My 2022 Mercedes GLC SUV with Flush Rails?
Question:
I have a 2022 Mercedes GLC, SUV style, not Coupe. I would like cross bars that do NOT extend past the roof rails. I want to be sure I understand the options. Some of the bars are listed as coupe from this model of car but I wonder if they also fit SUV.

From my available specs on your 2022 Mercedes GLC SUV, you have flush mounted factory rails on your roof. For a great flush roof rack system of crossbars that don't extend past the roof rails, there is one that fits your vehicle style. For that route, I recommend the following setup:
- Inno Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 36" Long and 39" Long # INXB93-100
- Inno Flush Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # INXS400
- Custom Fit Kit for Inno XS300, XS350, XS400, XS450, INTR, and INXR Roof Rack Feet # INTR138
With this aero-bar system, you get the benefits of an aerodynamic crossbar system that ultimately creates a quieter ride. The crossbars come with T-slot channels in the top to accommodate channel-mounted carriers and accessories. Also, since the connect into the # INXS400, the crossbars do not extend past the rails. With this particular system, you receive 165 pounds of maximum weight capacity. As with all roof racks, I recommend checking with your Mercedes owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the weight you wish to transport.
