ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an article carrier for a vehicle including a plurality of slats fixedly secured on a generally horizontal extending exterior vehicle body surface. The plurality of slats extend generally longitudinally of the vehicle. A pair of brackets are disposed upon selected slats and a crossbar extends laterally between and secured adjacent its opposite ends to the pair of brackets. The slats include a channel member for permitting sliding movement of at least one of the brackets along the length thereof. A locking structure on the brackets cooperates with the channel member of each of the selected slats for simultaneously engaging and disengaging the channel members for detachably securing and allowing longitudinal adjustment of the crossbar and brackets at predetermined positions along the slats.
