Boot-bag

Boot-bag is a waterproof luggage bag that simply straps to the trunk lid of your SLK adding either 1.75 or 2.65 cubic feet of waterproof luggage space. The bag simply straps around your Mercedes trunk. It sits on a soft non slip mat to protect paintwork. The straps stay in place once the bag is fitted and won't rub the trunk edge.

Revo-Rack Mercedes SLK Luggage Rack

$399 Black model

$489 PA Model

Revo-Rack is a unique design of Mercedes-Benz SLK Luggage Rack that eliminates the risk of paint damage, caused by steel clamps or straps on the fragile trunk lid edges. Revo-Rack can be fitted in under a minute.

We have been manufacturing the Revo-Rack since 2016 with the choice of two finishes black or PA (polished anodised) which creates a chrome like shine. We only sell direct over the web.

We designed Revo-Rack in 2015. The issue with fitting a conventional metal clamp based luggage rack to a modern convertible is the small panel gap - there is no room for a metal clamp.

Revo-Rack attaches to your SLK using vacuum cup technology, these are not suction cups. Suction is what creates vacuum. Vacuum is the total absence of air whereas suction is the process done to achieve a vacuum. The grey buttons on the side of the cups pump out the air creating a huge, securing force.

In 2015 Revo-Rack was independently certified by TUV Italy part of the global TUV testing and certification business. It went through speed, braking and force tests, to ISO 11154:2006 Revo-Rack passed all these tests and is certified to carry 20kg/45lbs. Since 2016 we have sold over 10,000 Revo-Racks and never had a failure.

Why a Revo Rack Luggage Rack ?

  • No clamps on the fragile trunk lid edges
  • No bolts
  • No drilling
  • No paint damage
  • Perfect for modern sports cars with small panel gaps that make fixing a traditional clamp based rack almost impossible : no room for the clamp feet
  • Shipped with DHL Express in 2-5 days no import tax and no state taxes
  • Revo-Racks load carrying capacity has been rated at 45Ibs
  • Supplied with 2 luggage straps and cotton storage bag.
  • Fitted and removed in under a minute ( see video below )
