A luggage rack assembly for automobile deck lids and the like having a pair of identical rear corner supports with a tubular rear rail extending between and received over opposed first tongues of the rear supports. Each rear corner support further has a pair of second tongues projecting respectively forwardly and rearwardly on a line beneath the first tongues. A tubular front rail extends between and is received over opposed third tongues one protruding from each of a pair of identical front corner supports, each of which also has a pair of fourth tongues projecting forwardly and rearwardly on a line coplanar with said third tongues. Tubular side rails extend between and are received over opposed ones of said second and fourth tongues in a plane with said front rail beneath said rear rail. The front and rear corner supports are fixedly mounted to the deck lid by four identical base members each receiving a one of the corner supports by snap fit. The rear corner posts are received by loose snap-fit into the associated base members to provide limited universal adjustable motion of the base members to conform to surface contour of a said deck lid. A plurality of spaced tubular cross rails are suspended in the plane of the front and side rails by rail connectors slidably received over the side and front rails and having a projecting tongue received within the cross rails.
