I spoke with Thule for you and confirmed that the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629906 is a fit for a 2007 Mercedes-Benz GL450 with factory roof rack. However, in order to be sure that you can open the hatch fully with the cargo box in place you'll need to measure the distance from the center of the front crossbar to the point where the roof and hatch meet on your roof. If it's more than 55" you'll be good to go but if not you might want to step down to the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Cargo Box part # TH629806 which only requires 51-1/4".
