Re: [MBZ] Roof Rack Idea Old Benzes
I don’t think there is a good alternative for a W124, depending on what you’re looking for in the way of a car. If you want a Toyota Camry as far as reliability, a solid W210 is the best way to go. They’re still fairly simple to work on and maintain, and very durable and reliable. Not as solid as a W124, but good cars nonetheless. Just avoid any with rust, as it’s seriously dangerous on a W210. -D > On Aug 12, 2021, at 6:37 PM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes > wrote: > > What’s a good alternative for a w124?

Re: [MBZ] Roof Rack Idea Old Benzes
You can buy multiple feet and bolt them to any sort of crossmember you want. Two feet per end on a 2x8 works for heavy stuff. Usually I am not hauling anything that heavy on the car.

I have gutter mountroof racksthat work on the 126s, I forget the brand, they are pretty well known. Got them ages ago.
