Hello Richard, thanks for reaching out. The best way to attach a hanging bike rack to your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLC300 is to install a trailer hitch like the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e35AR. This has a 2" receiver which opens the door to some great bike rack options.

The best Thule 2-bike hanging rack to go with this is the Thule Apex # TH9024XT. This can hold two bikes weighing up to 37.5 lbs apiece so it works great for road bikes and mountain bikes. It also has anti-sway cradles which help to keep the bikes securely in place while you are driving. If you scroll down to the "featured help information" section you will find the link to a video that goes over the specs and features of this rack in more detail.

Feel free to reach out and comment flow if there is anything else I can do.

Hey Richard, how did the Thule Apex work out on your GLC 300 with the Class 3 hitch? It’d be great to hear how the fit and bike stability turned out. Your feedback could help others choosing a similar setup.
