Abstract: A vehicle mounted bicycle carrying assembly for supporting at least one bicycle in an upward standing position on the upper surface of a vehicle for transport by the vehicle includes first and second laterally spaced and longitudinally extending rail members affixed to the roof, and an elongated member adapted to retain the at least one bicycle for pivotally movement between a first position and a second position about an axis. The axis is substantially coincident with the elongated member. A first end portion of the elongated member is adapted to be attached to one of the rail members and a second end portion of the elongated member is adapted to be attached to the other of the rail members. In the preferred embodiment, the assembly further comprises a permanently spoiler attached to the deck lid. The spoiler integrally includes a longitudinally extending member including a channel adapted to receive the rear wheel of the at least one bicycle.

Abstract: A luggage rack is provided for mounting on the roof of a vehicle. The luggage rack includes a pair of elongated side rails securable to the roof. A slot is provided in each slide rail to receive the tongue of a stanchion. A detachable cross member extends between stanchions provided on each side rail. The stanchions permit slidable adjustment of the cross member along the length of the side rails. The tongues of the stanchions and the slots in the side rails are angled outwardly to prevent removal of the stanchions and cross member after they are mounted.
