Roof Luggage Rack
A roof luggage rack with two movable crossbars and a black finish is standard on all models. Sturdy aluminum stanchions that support the crossbars ride in aluminum side rails. The rails nestle in shallow depressions created by the roof-to-side aperture panel seams. This location on the roof is very strong, allowing the rack to carry up to 150 pounds (68 kg).
Tracks in the side rails retain the crossbar stanchions. A series of equally spaced holes pierced in each rail receives a movable locking pin on the stanchion to hold the crossbars in place. Hole spacing allows the stanchions to be placed side-by-side if desired.
Crossbar adjustment is easy because the pushbutton locking mechanism has a detent in the free position. With both pins free, one person can easily slide the crossbars to any location along the side rails.
Snap-in stops on the side rails prevent the crossbars from sliding off, but the rails can be removed by first removing the stops. Each crossbar stanchion includes two cargo tie-down loops. Each stanchion also has a raised guard that provides lateral restraint for lumber, ladders, or other items resting on the crossbars.
The crossbars and stanchions are designed to support loads up to the capacity of the rack. Though the rack is designed to carry cargo on top of the crossbars, skid strips are installed between the side rails to protect the roof. Air foil-shaped crossbars ensure freedom from wind noise.
