I do have an option for you but nfortunately, no trunk mount racks that we carry are confirmed to fit your 2015 Mercedes-Benz GL 500.
You can add a roof rack like the Thule AeroBlade Edge # TH7503B-TH7503B (black) or # TH7503-TH7503 (silver). This is an aerodynamic roof rack that has a great look. It installs onto the rails of your Mercedes and can be locked using Thule's One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
Then add a bike carrier like the Thule UpRide, part # TH599000. The UpRide holds bikes by the wheels so there's no frame contact and the front wheel doesn't need to be removed. It will also use the One-Key System so you can lock the Sidearm to the roof rack and use the same key.
I've attached some videos of each product for you to take a look at.
