The Mercedes-Benz roadster lineup has been one of the staples of the brand name since the very beginning. With its strong racing heritage and unmatched beauty are instantly recognizable in 99% of the world. This endless popularity has led to a lot of traditional accessories that come as options with the SL-Class, many of which are purely for fun or convenience and do not pertain to the way the car works. Some of them are far-fetched like the SL-Class children’s-sized pedal car, but others provide a high level of convenience such as a Mercedes-Benz car cover or the 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Rear Shelf Bag.

Probably one of the only drawbacks to owning a roadster is the lack of passenger and cargo room. Of course it is important to the performance of the car and people who are buying an SL-Class are not likely interested in giving people rides But shouldn’t the space behind the seats be put to better use? Mercedes-Benz thinks so. That is why it offers an SL-Class Rear Shelf Bag.
The shelf bag for the SL-Class is made out of Napa calf leather and nylon, which is the same material used in the SL-Class seats themselves. It is custom-designed to fit snugly in the space behind the seats without blocking the view of the rear window. It looks similar to a suitcase, but instead of featuring one large zipper, it has a smaller one on each side, making the pockets more easily and quickly accessible to the driver and passenger. It also has interior zip pockets, for more delicate items.
When the bag is in the car, it looks like it is a piece of the car. There are two straps already on the shelf that come over the top of the bag and tighten it down. Taking it out is as simple as loosening these straps and pulling it out. It looks like a crossover between a suitcase and a briefcase, and seems to be a great way to add utility to the waste of space behind your seats.
The shelf bag has been a long-standing Mercedes-Benz tradition for many successful years. If you already own an SL-Class and want to capitalize on the 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class Rear Shelf Bag, contact us at Mercedes-Benz of Scottsdale. We have both new and pre-owned SL-Class models for sale.
