ABSTRACT:
A device which allows accessories to be securely mounted to a vehicle without the need for drilling holes in the vehicle, or otherwise modifying and damaging the vehicle, including an elongated member having a channel extending the length of the top of the elongated member which is shaped to slidably engage a variety of fastening members, and attached to manufacturer predrilled holes on the side railings of the bed of a pickup truck. The channel slidably engages a variety of fastening members, such as the head of a bolt or a snap fastener, so that they may be slid into position at intervals along the elongated member and used to fasten a variety of accessories to the vehicle. For example, the fastening members may be used to removably fasten a removable hardtop, a truck bed cover, and/or a toolbox to the side railings of a vehicle.
