Sorry to thread hijack but while we are identifying roof racks does anyone know who makes this one? Any other options for SWB? Thanks


This would be PERFECT for my SWB G320. Anyone know what it is??

Are there any roof racks that sit behind the sun roof so it doesn’t make that terrible buffering sound when it’s open

You could get a Frontrunner rack and cut down the sides but I'm not really sure it is going to cut down on the buffeting sound. Depending on what you are wanting to put up there, you could just run multiple Frontrunner crossbars vice entire rack to suit your mounting needs.

I have been looking for the Mercedes part # for the LeTech roof rack offered on the 2016-2018 G wagons. Local dealer couldn’t help me either. Hoping someone can help me finding the number.

Although it is not available anymore in the US, it might be still available in Europe. So …. :?:

Yes, I have seen it but it mentioned drilling needed and I prefer not to do that…
Not sure if drilling is also needed on the Le-Tech.
I did see that ORC appears to sell the Le-Tech/Mercedes rack a bit cheaper but the shipping is over $1000 to the US.
I have a 50 inch light bar I’d like to add (Rigid Adapt). Most roof racks won’t accommodate that width. The Le-tech will. It is also very strong, low and light but OMG big $$$$!
