Abstract: A number of variations may include a luggage carrier system that may include a plurality of docking pads and at least one cross-rail wherein each individual docking pad may include a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a protuberant that may extend from the second surface and may define a threaded hole constructed and arranged to receive a cross-rail bolt. The at least one cross-rail may include a rail having a first end and a second end, a first stanchion affixed to the first end, a second stanchion affixed to the second end, and may be constructed and arranged to be removably attached to the plurality of docking pads via the cross-rail bolt.

Abstract: A blow molded assembly includes an attachment fastener portion integrated with a plastic component portion, and is formed by a blow molding process. The attachment fastener portion has a shaft and a base, where the base has at least one aperture and a bearing surface. The shaft extends from the bearing surface. The at least one aperture is configured to allow plastic for the plastic component portion to flow sufficiently through the base during the blow molding process such that the attachment fastener portion and the plastic component portion are integrated. The base of the attachment fastener portion may be substantially embedded within the plastic component portion. The shaft of the attachment fastener portion may be configured to receive a matable fastener such that the blow molded assembly may be attached to a structure. To accomplish this, the shaft may be threaded.
