A set of powered retractable running boards for the Mercedes GL and GLS from 2013-2018.

The boards retract under the body once the doors are closed and do not spoil the side clearance.
Electric Running Boards — Mercedes-Benz GL / GLS 2013-2018
Tall SUVs share one problem: getting in with a child or in a suit can be a workout, while a fixed side step hangs low and collects everything on the way. Powered boards solve both — they extend when a door opens and retract when it closes.
The supplier assigns this set to the Mercedes GL and GLS from 2013-2018. The steps are aluminium, the brackets are steel with adjustment, and the surface you stand on has an anti-slip coating.

Fitting and notes
The photo shows a complete set: two boards, two actuators, brackets and a control module with harness. The supplier does not say whether fitting uses the factory points under the sill or needs drilling, nor how the harness connects to the vehicle wiring and the door-open signal.
The supplier states that the boards "work on an electromagnet". The photo shows conventional electric actuators, so it is worth confirming the drive arrangement with the seller before buying — along with the step's load rating, which the supplier does not give.
Frequently asked questions
Do the boards extend automatically when a door opens?
The supplier does not describe the control logic. A control module is visible in the photo, but the wiring and the extension conditions need confirming with the seller.
What load will the step take?
The supplier gives no load rating and no maximum step load.
Is the set complete?
The photo shows boards, actuators, brackets and a module with harness. The supplier lists no kit contents in the description, so confirm the list before buying.
