Bike Rack Recommendation for Allowing Rear Door of Mercedes Sprinter to Open
Updated 08/02/2017 | Published 08/01/2017 >
Question:
We have a Mercedes Sprinter Van..will this rack allow doors to open when rack is down? Assume we need to unload bikes but we have a Thule and we cannot open back doors, they hit the rack..wondering if there is enough clearance Or any other suggestions for bike racks on the sprinters to allow back doors to open?

Check out the SoftRide part # SR26247. We had a customer send us pictures in that show the door opening of the Sprinter with the bike rack tilted down.
I attached the picture of the rack for you to check out as well.
