Abstract: The invention relates to a roof rack section for attaching to a vehicle roof. Known such sections usually include a cross member having a foot attached to either end. Each such foot is provided with means for locking the section to the vehicle. Such known means often comprise screwed details which cause time-consuming and difficult fitting and removal of the roof rack sections. The present invention relates to a roof rack section including a crossbeam provided at either end with a foot which is formed with means for removably attaching the section to the body of a vehicle so that the section assumes a transverse extension above the vehicle roof.
