Expert Reply:

We do have a trunk mounted bike rack option for your 2002 Mercedes CLK 430 convertible, however, Thule does not list any of there trunk mounted bike racks as a fit for your vehicle.

Instead, you will want to take a look at the Yakima KingJoe Pro 2 Bike Rack, # Y02624. This is the only trunk mounted bike rack that is listed as a fit for your vehicle. I have attached a demonstration video of this bike rack for you to check out.

If you plan on carrying any womens, childrens or alternative bike frames, then you may also want to pick up the Yakima Tube Top Adapter Bar, # Y02531. Some small and angled bike frames can be difficult to load on bike racks and this adapter will allow you to load those bikes easily and safely. I have attached a demonstration video of this adapter bar for you as well.
