  • Patent number: 5193874
    Abstract: A storage system for motor vehicle roof inserts has two matched body portions which are mounted in a motor vehicle. Each body portion includes a pair of channels which are shaped to conform to the shape of the roof inserts. The storage bodies are spaced a distance which corresponds to the length of the roof inserts such that the edge portions of the inserts can be inserted into the channels where they are supported spanning the space between the storage bodies. Resilient opposed rollers in association with each channel guide and support the roof inserts in the channels. The storage bodies may include pin-receiving bores positioned to receive retractable roof insert posts to secure the roof inserts in position in the storage system. The storage bodies may be conveniently formed by an injection molding process using ABS plastic.
