Mercedes Roof Rack on Estate W204

[WelshBoyo]

I have a 2008 C350 estate (W204) and have Mercedes Roof Rail (fitted) and some roof bars. However I can't find the manual for the roof bars and need to install them as I have bought a Mercedes 450ltr roof box. Does anyone have a manual for the roof bar that they can scan and forward to me as I want to know the proper place to fit them? I can guess where they should go from pictures on the Mercedes site, but not sure if this is wise as the roof box is going to be quite heavy.

Don't have the same bars but I assume that the principle is the same...

I've got a set of Thule bars and feet. Use them regularly with a roofbox on my W204 C220 Estate.

I find that it fits best when the rear foot/clamp is just behind the middle pillar of the roof rail.

The Thule manual says that the further back the roofbox is, the louder the wind noise.

Hope this helps.

Hopefully this works and you can work out where I positioned it. Same car, so should give you a feel.

Thanks all, I worked it out and then picked up the 450ltr roof box:-
