Abstract: A lock assembly for use in a vehicle lock, such as on a truck tailgate. The lock assembly includes a single key cylinder which can concurrently control the locked/unlocked state of one or more door handles, thus rendering multiple handles simultaneously locked or unlocked. Such a lock assembly may provide manual control of access to a pickup truck bed, independently of the vehicle battery, thereby permitting the driver access even if the vehicle battery is dead.

Abstract: A roof rack lighting assembly for a vehicle includes a base member configured to secure to the vehicle. The roof rack lighting assembly also includes a slider member slidably coupled to the base member and selectively moveable between a first slider position and a second slider position. A light assembly is pivotally coupled to the slider member and selectively moveable between a first light position and a second light position.

Abstract: A roof rail for mounting to a vehicle. The rail has an elongated base of plastic and a metal stay member. The stay member has a first surface oriented for mating with a vehicle roof and a second surface oriented for receiving a cross bar. The stay member is encapsulated by the plastic forming the elongated base. The first surface includes at least two openings configured for receiving a fastener. The second surface includes at least two passages configured for receiving a fastener. An elongated plastic cap element is also provided. The cap element has a first edge engaging the elongated base adjacent the first surface of the stay member and a second edge engaging the base adjacent the second surface of the stay member, but does not cover the second surface of the stay member.
