ABSTRACT:
A universal car top carrier is supported upon a pair of spaced apart full length resilient mounting pads. The mounting pads are internally supported by a spring bar to accommodate flexing and produce an even distribution of pressure along the length of the mounting pad. The mounting pads are triangular in cross-section to define three elongated faces each face being differently contoured and selectable to obtain a mating conformance with the supporting roof line or corner. Different width roofs are accommodated by a pair of width adjustable telescoping tubing/support attached to the mounting pads through castings. A cam lock buckle at each casting releasably secures the strap of a gutter hook to lock the car top carrier to the car roof.
