ABSTRACT:
A slat assembly for vehicle luggage racks is disclosed with a snap-in end cap. The end cap has a shank portion which is telescoped inside the end of the channel-shaped slat and a head portion is disposed exteriorly of the slat. A detent element in the form of a tang in the base of the slat coacts with a detent element in the form of a ramp surface on the bottom of the shank of the end cap to interlock the end cap and slat. A stud is molded into the end cap for mounting the slat assembly on a vehicle body panel.
