Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cargo carrier for a vehicle, in particular a rooftop cargo carrier, for stowing goods to be transported therein. The cargo carrier comprises a base and a lid, which are moveable with respect to each other to adjust the cargo carrier between a closed and an open state. Further, the cargo carrier comprises an air channel for purging air from an interface region formed between the base and the lid in the closed state at a front portion of the cargo carrier, preferably to reduce a force caused by a headwind that acts to spread the base and the lid apart in the interface region.

Abstract: A rooftop cargo carrier including a base, a lid, fixation members, and at least two ground contact sections. The base has an interior space for stowing goods. The lid is hingedly coupled with the base, and the lid is configured to open and close. The fixation members are configured to attach the cargo carrier to a vehicle. The at least two ground contact sections are configured to support the cargo carrier on a substantially level ground and configured to protect the fixation members.

Abstract: A lid for a cargo carrier having a reinforced front portion for reducing a flexibility of the lid at least in the reinforced front portion. The reinforced front portion includes a reinforcing structure. The reinforcing structure includes at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections. Each of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections extends along or is defined in an inner surface of the lid and has a different main extension direction. At least two of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections cross each other and each of the at least two continuous elongate reinforcing sections extends along a path defined by a differentiable function.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cargo carrier comprising abase having a trough shape with an interior space for stowing goods to be transported therein and an openable and closable lid hingedly coupled with the base. The cargo carrier further comprises an add-on portion attached to at least one of the base and the lid, wherein the add-on portion enlarges the overall external volume of the cargo carrier. The invention further concerns a method for manufacturing such a cargo carrier.
