Telescoping Strut Channel?! This site is awesome, thanks! I've been looking for a place I can just go walk into to look at these but I'm not really finding them. Home Depot just has a few of the basics only, and only galvanized steel, no aluminum.

Yeah, McMaster is awesome for tons of stuff and shipping is quick and cheaper than you would expect for things like strut...and for me everything arrives next dayTelescoping Strut Channel?!

https://www.mcmaster.com/strut-channel-plugsThe only thing I can't seem to find are the black plastic end pieces
They are black powder coated steel, not plastic...but looks like for the 1 5/8" strut that part # is 3312T385Thanks, but that's been my dilemma. None of those are what's shown in the video at 7:55. Do you happen to have a McMaster part number? Looks like they're all in the 3312T### format. https://www.mcmaster.com/strut-end. Also, I plan on using the "slotted hole" aluminum strut so water can drain out.
yupI don't know if the vantec rails fit a 2019? but I can tell you that I've used a lot of their products on my van and their a great company and good folks to deal with. You might give them a call and they might be able to advise you further.
I remember that we obtained the part number from the MB dealership and then bought the rails for a cheaper price from eBay (they were shipped from a Canadian dealership )I have a 2019 144 that didn’t come with the OEM roof rails/tracks. Mercedes doesn’t have any in stock and doesn’t seem to have any idea when they will be in stock. Anyone have any experience with the vantech rails, since they are the only ones that I can find? Or have any other rails that they know of? I’m trying to get an awning (probably Thule hideaway) and mount a solar panel, but I need rails first! Also, I tried searching without much luck...sorry if this has been discussed. I’m new.
Thanks,
Eric
