ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a roof rack section for attaching to a vehicle roof. Known such sections usually include a cross member having a foot attached to either end. Each such foot is provided with means for locking the section to the vehicle. Such known means often comprise screwed details which cause time-consuming and difficult fitting and removal of the roof rack sections. The present invention relates to a roof rack section including a crossbeam provided at either end with a foot which is formed with means for removably attaching the section to the body of a vehicle so that the section assumes a transverse extension above the vehicle roof. The invention is distinguished in that the means at each foot comprise at least two location pins, inwardly directed in the longitudinal direction of the crossbeam and adapted for accommodation in permanent recesses in the vehicle body when the roof rack section is fitted, and in that the section is provided with clamping means which by manual operation can cause the feet to assume different mutual spacing and thereby enable clamping the section to the vehicle body.
