Mercedes-Benz A-Class Roof Rack Replacement Parts

The A-Class doesn't come with a factory-fitted roof rack as standard, but all generations of the hatchback are designed with roof rails or rack mounting points as an accessory option, so aftermarket and dealer-fit roof racks do exist for the model. What you're most likely looking for is either a set of roof bars, a roof rail kit, or the mounting foot kit that attaches to the car's roof gutters or flush mounting points. If a previous owner fitted one, a breaker may have the bars and feet available as a used set. Make sure to tell the breaker your exact generation and body style so they can match the correct fitment.

No — the W176 (2013–2018, facelift 2015) and W177 (2018 onwards) are completely different platforms with different rooflines, roof widths, and mounting point positions, so roof bars and rack feet from one generation will not transfer to the other. Always source a rack or bars specifically listed for your generation. If you're buying from a breaker, give them your registration so they can confirm the correct generation before supplying. Never assume cross-generation fitment even if the bars look visually similar.

Yes, this can matter — the 3-door and 5-door A-Class hatchbacks have different roof lengths and the spacing between mounting points can differ, which affects which roof bar set will fit correctly. The W176 generation was offered in both 3-door and 5-door variants, so always confirm with the breaker whether the bars they're supplying came from a matching door count. The W177 generation dropped the 3-door, so that's less of a concern for newer cars. Give your breaker your registration to be certain.

Trim level does not affect roof rack fitment — the roof structure and mounting points are the same across SE, Sport, AMG Line, and other trim grades within the same generation. What may differ cosmetically is whether the car already has flush rails or bare mounting points, and some AMG Line models may have a slightly different roof finish, but the bar set itself fits the same way. Focus on matching the generation (W176 or W177) and body style rather than the trim. Any set of bars confirmed for your generation hatchback will be compatible regardless of which trim you're running.

No — the B-Class is a different body style (a taller MPV-type vehicle) with a wider and longer roof than the A-Class hatchback, so the roof bars, feet, and mounting geometry are not compatible. Always source bars specifically listed for the A-Class. If a breaker suggests a B-Class set as an alternative, decline and confirm they have an A-Class–specific fitment. Mixing parts between these two models is a common mistake because they share platform underpinnings, but the body dimensions above the waist are quite different.

Both 2013 and 2015 A-Class hatchbacks fall within the W176 generation (2013–2018), but 2015 is also the facelift year for that generation, and there can be minor body pressing or trim differences around mounting points between pre-facelift and post-facelift cars. In most cases roof bar fitment is unaffected by the facelift, but you should confirm this directly with the breaker against your registration before purchasing. Name your exact year and registration so they can verify the bars came from a matching pre- or post-facelift car if needed. Don't assume fitment is guaranteed just because both cars are W176.
