ABSTRACT:
A vehicle article carrier having a pair of generally parallel disposed side rails and a plurality of mounting support members for securing the side rails fixedly to an outer body surface, wherein each outermost end of each side rail is secured to its associated mounting support member without any fastening element being visible at the areas where each outermost end of the side rail attaches to the mounting support members. A mounting plate is disposed in one tubular end of the side rail such that the ends of the mounting plate engage opposing slots formed in an outermost end of the side rail. A fastening element is inserted through an opening of an internal boss formed within the mounting support member and engages a threaded opening in the mounting plate. The fastener secures the mounting plate, and therefore the outermost end of the side rail, to the mounting support member without the fastening member or mounting plate being visible once these two components are secured together.
