Abstract: The invention relates to a removable mounting arrangement of a roof rail 10 on the roof 20 of a motor vehicle. The rail profile 11 has a mounting wall 41 aligned an angle and recesses 42 for a mounting element 50 for introducing from the side. An adapter connected to the roof 20 of the motor vehicle also has an angled contact surface 31 having recesses 32 for the mounting elements 50. The potential for introducing the mounting elements 50 from the side enables easily mounting even a decorative roof rail 10 (FIG. 3).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a roof rack, to an extruded profile for use in a method of this nature and to a novel roof rack for a vehicle. The novel roof rack for vehicles consists of an extruded profile (1) of aluminum, wherein the rail (13) is formed by a tubular profile part of the extruded profile (1), and the end feet (11, 12) are formed from a bend section of the tubular profile part. The roof rack has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, which are created by machining of at least one additional profile web on the extruded profile (1). Freely selectable lateral contours (20, 20?) for a roof rack can be achieved in this way.

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof rack roof rack for a motor vehicle, having a roof rail profile. The roof rail profile is manufactured from a profile that has a constant cross-section in the longitudinal direction of the profile. Roof rail profiles with different designs can be formed from one and the same profile cross-section, namely by the shaping of a side or wall section present on the profile that delimits a passage. The roof rail profile, which preferably is designed as one piece, has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, namely unshaped surface sections and shaped surface sections.

Abstract: A motor vehicle component consisting of a metal profile element and a lighting element. The profile element has a channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile with an externally accessible opening extending in the longitudinal direction of the profile. The lighting element serves to produce a strip of light radiating in the longitudinal direction of the profile, and is arranged in the channel of the profile element so as to be concealed behind an outer surface of the profile element so that the radiated light does not arrive directly at the outside, but instead is reflected outward by a reflecting surface of the profile element.
