Mercedes B-Class W246 with K39 roof bars fitted directly onto the roof

We fitted a set of K39 roof bars on a Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 in the SuportBicicleta.ro showroom at Drumul Lunca Corbului 2, Sector 3, Bucharest, Romania. The roof of this model has no roof rails, so the set fits directly onto the roof.

About the car: Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246

The Mercedes-Benz B-Class W246 was built from November 2011 to December 2018 as a 5-door hatchback. The facelift was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in October 2014. The fitting photos show the pre-facelift front end, with the headlights and grille specific to the W246.

The roof has no roof rails, so the roof bar set fits directly onto the roof, with the clamps fixed to the door frames. The type of fitting matters when you choose a set, and the permitted roof load should be checked in the car's manual before fitting. If you are unsure whether to choose roof bars or a rear-mounted bike rack, read roof-mounted bike rack versus rear-mounted rack.

What we fitted on this Mercedes B-Class

The set fitted is the K39 roof bar set, fixed directly onto the roof at the attachment points specific to the model. The roof bars are the base for your accessories: once fitted, you can add bike racks, roof boxes or ski racks, depending on the compatibility of each product.

To see the roof bars and the compatible accessories, go to roof bars. Once the roof bars are fixed, you choose the accessory that suits what you carry, and in the showroom we check together what fits your car.
