Here's my first post...hoping to hit a home run (I apologize for the long story)
I purchased a 2016 GLC300 4Matic from Mercedes-Benz of Chicago back in early may. It has almost everything I want on it....except the factory installed tow bar.
Now, I'm sure most of you know there aren't a lot of aftermarket options out there for a tow bar or roof rack...yet.
For those of us that are impatient and want a tow bar now...this is your ticket.
Now down to the good news. For those who didn't get a car with a factory installed towbar you can now obtain one yourself. (this took 2 weeks of back and forth at my dealer).
here is a quote from one of the emails:
"There is a kit available 253-310-14-00 for $730 but this does not include the wiring harness. I assume the harness would be another $400 roughly and would need to be determined with the VIN in the EPC. It is a little unclear because the product description is in German! The Vehicle will then require 5 hours for installation."
So there's your information...
Part Number: 253-310-14-00 (which is just the towbar and electrical harness for the exterior of the vehicle)
Being an internet savvy person I was able to find the same part number on MBwholesalepartsonline.com for $584 +52 dollars for shipping.
But there's more:
FOR A LIMITED TIME RECEIVE 10% OFF YOUR
ENTIRE FIRST ORDER WHEN YOU SPEND
$100 OR MORE.*
ENTER CODE: "10OFFFIRST"
So long story short I ordered it from there and it should be here today. I will upload pictures when I get home and the specs listed on the part.
Cheers!!
