I have a solution for you, but the Surco Safari 5.0 Roof Cargo Basket for Factory Rails # SPS4560-1101 is designed for raised side rails and it appears that the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC 350 has flush side rails; the Surco # SPS4560-1101 is not compatible with flush side rails.
If you've got factory crossbars for your GLC 350 then you'll need to use a different roof basket like the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117, which is similarly sized to the Surco basket and designed to fit on factory crossbars; Surco does not make a basket compatible with factory crossbars.
I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, if you haven't seen them already.
