Question:

Can sunroof be opened with Rhino Rack SX or Stealthbar on 2022 Mercedes GLB

asked by: Teng M

Expert Reply:

The bottom of the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7970 is going to be at least at the same height as the bottom of the OEM raised rails on your 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLB so if your sunroof is lower than that you'll be good to go. Most roof rack manufacturers don't recommend opening up the sunroof with a roof rack installed though because it creates a different wind pattern which can lead to some wind noise that you otherwise wouldn't have.

You'll also need to make sure that any accessories using a clamp for the installation will fit when it comes to sunroof/clamp clearance. For example, the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 you were looking at has a clamp that sits on the underside of the crossbar, or you can use the channel mount hardware so you won't have to worry about that underbar clearance.
