I’ve just booked my MP in for a tow bar fitting in order to take a bike carrier, and no other reason. I’m now worried I will not be able to source a 2-bike carrier that will allow the tailgate to open. I may cancel the tow bar if this is the case as I don’t particularly want a large 3or 4 bike carrier.
Anyone out there who’s successfully fitted a 2-bike towbar carrier and still manage to open the tailgate? I also don’t want to fit a tailgate mounted rack as the bikes are too high up to go through height barriers.
BTW, the German Mercedes website offers 2 and 3 bike carriers badged as Mercedes, but actually made by Altera. They state that you cannot open the tailgate with the Vario2, but you can with the Vario3, as confirmed by Braysaway.
