Hi everyone
Lookin to clamp a pair of Thule roof bars to the two short roof rails on my 300 and put a very large Thule roof box up there. Whats the verdict on whether the rails will take it?
Thanks again fellas

what's the max load on the box?? Those flimsy click in Crossbars are rated at 55kg so rails should be good for 75/80kg's at least
