ABSTRACT:
A roof rack is constructed of two railing rods securable to a vehicle roof. Each railing rod is cut from tubular sectional stock. The rod ends are bent and flattened to form two mounting feet, one at each rod end and integral with the railing rod. A connector element such as a screw passes through the respective mounting foot. Each mounting foot is enclosed by at least one enclosure. Preferably the enclosure has two sections such as a shell and a cover. The sections are strengthened by ribs and the cover snaps onto or into the shell with a location fit. At least one enclosure section is made of synthetic material. The load is carried by the integral mounting feet, whereby the enclosures are substantially load free.
