Question:

Hi - Want a bar/basket combination that is lightweight but will keep cargo bags off the sunroof. Any recommendation?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Apparently there is both an SUV version and coupe version of the 2018 Mercedes GLC 43, which seems odd but ok. So I will provide recommendations for both.

First, the SUV version. The roof rack that is going to compliment your GLC the most is the Thule Wingbar # TH711400, feet # TH710601, and fit kit # TH186020.

Now for the coupe model. Once again I recommend the AeroBlade Edge system. The part numbers for the coupe model are different though. For black you would need # TH7602B-TH7603B or for silver use # TH7602-TH7603. And for either you would need fit kit # THKIT3159.

Then for a basket I recommend the Yakima OffGrid Roof Cargo Basket # Y07138. This is really simple to install and it has a great aero-style design which will help to accent the style of your vehicle.
