FAQ:
1. Does this rear door gear rack work with both 180° and 270° rear door hinges, or only the 180° hinge version?
This rack is designed for vehicles equipped with 180° rear door hinges only. Vehicles with 270° hinges can be converted by replacing the hinges using parts available from Mercedes-Benz dealers.
2. Can this gear rack be installed by one person? How long does installation typically take?
One person can complete the installation, though having two people makes the process easier. Typical installation time is around one hour.
3. Will adding gear to the rear door affect hinge durability, door sag, or the door’s ability to open and close normally?
When installed correctly and kept within the stated load limit, the rack should not negatively affect hinge function or door alignment. Always verify that the rack and mounted accessories are secure before driving.
4. Can the rear doors open fully with accessories mounted, and are there any interference concerns with the secondary door, ladders, the rear camera, or rear parking sensors?
The rear doors can still open normally when the rack is installed correctly. Clearance should always be checked based on the accessories being mounted, especially if other rear door accessories are already installed.
5. Are there any clearance considerations when mounting storage boxes, fuel containers, or other accessories—specifically around taillights, hinges, or body panels?
Yes. Clearance should be checked based on the size and position of the accessories being installed to ensure taillights remain visible, sensors are unobstructed, and the rear doors can open and close properly.
6. Can this gear rack be installed on the passenger side or is it driver side only?
Driver side only, This rack cannot be mounted on the passenger side.
7. Can the crossbeam be installed anywhere along the frame?
For the base kit, the crossbeam can be positioned anywhere along the frame. When used together with the tire carrier however, the crossbeam must be installed in the fixed position shown in the product photo.
