ABSTRACT:
A roof rack comprises a pair of interconnected side rails overlying and at their ends connected to a vehicle roof, and elongated caps of a flexible material overlying and enclosing a portion of each rail and interlocked therewith. Each rail is an elongated extrusion including a pair of parallel top bends along its length with spaced strips depending from the beads defining undercut corners. Out-turned flanges extend from the strips and terminate in upturned marginal ledges. The cap has a top wall that overlies the beads and a pair of side walls terminating in a pair of opposed internal supports respectively overlying the out-turned flanges and retained and interposed between the strips and marginal ledges. A pair of opposed internal anchor flanges on the side walls interlockingly engage the shoulders to secure then cap along its length to the rail.
