ABSTRACT:
A roof rack for a motor vehicle including two roof strips which extend longitudinally along the roof, are parallel to each other and are spaced apart. A respective support strip on each roof strip is swingable from a position in a recess on the roof strip to a position across to the other roof strip. Each support strip is swingable about a mount at a respective vertical axis. The mount includes a set screw settable to determine the amount to which the support strip may be upraised from the vehicle roof and a spring which urges the support strip upward, establishing thereby the upper and lower positions of the support strip with respect to the vehicle roof. The support strip may be locked in the lowered or upraised vertical positions.
