Does anyone know if there is a maximum capacity for the roof rails? Whatever rack I install is going to have a maximum carrying capacity but I was wondering if the rails themselves have a maximum recommended capacity.

Thank you,

It says maximum roof load is 75kg on non-AMG models and 100kg on GLA45's.

I wonder why the 25 kg difference between GLA45 and GLA250?

(That's 55 pounds in the States)

Did MB do something different in body of AMG version to stiffen it up?

Maybe the stronger AMG engine could move a heavier load and not necessarily a structure thing?

If 25 kg makes that much of a difference to vehicle performance, those of us that opted for the GLA250 are in serious trouble!

lol 5 people seated inside are probably accounted for in that estimation but then again it is just a guess.

If they strengthened the body to stiffen the AMG in any way I would think that would be one of MBs selling point and it'll be all over the brochure and marketing then again who knows.

I was going to look at difference in the towing weight limit but I just remembered that 45 can't tow anything. lol
