Today on our 2012 Mercedes GLK Class we're doing a test fit of the Swagman XC platform-style 2-bike rack, part number S64650. This bike rack is designed to work with 1-1/4" and 2" hitches. The first thing we want to take a look at is the bike and how it's secured to our bike rack. We've got this frame hook holding that in. That's going to secure those to the wheel cradles. Although you might be a little worried, I've read the customer reviews, they are certain that you aren't going to have any problems with not having any straps there, that the frame hooks do well enough on their own. To move those out of the way we'll just press down on the gray lever here and lift those up. more

Inno Hitch Bike Racks Review - 2012 Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class- Video
Today on our 2012 Mercedes GLK350 we have our Inno tire hold hitch three bike platform rack. Part number INH305-306. Over here we've got our bike on it and if you need to get into your hitch while the bike's on you can pull this lever down, let it down. Now if you do, you need to be careful. I tested this and we do have a half inch clearance but it is something to pay attention to when you go ahead and open your hatchback. Like I said we have clearance there but depending on your bike you'll have to pay attention to that. We do have enough space that we can get into our back while our bike is still on this. Now to put this back in place all you have to do is grab your main bar and lift up until it clicks. Now we do have two tire holes that hold the bike in place and to release this we lift up on our locking lever here. more
