ABSTRACT:
A rooftop carrier has features that allow it to carry fishing rods. The carrier in one embodiment has a wind deflector blade at the rear for deflecting wind down over the rear window of the vehicle to clean the window. The blade is hinged to the carrier and has a lock for locking the blade in the lower position. A number of tubes are mounted to the carrier, each having an open end set forward of the blade. These tubes are adapted to carry fishing rods. The blade prevents access to the grips of the fishing rods when it is in the closed position. In one embodiment, the carrier has an open top, serving also for carrying luggage. The tubes are clipped into the carrier and can be removed. In another embodiment, the carrier has a closed top that may be opened to provide access to the tubes. A rear wall opens for access to the ends of the rods. Holes in the forward end of the housing allow the rods to protrude out of the tubes.
