  • Patent number: 10953806
    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.
