Roof Rack

A roof rack is a set of bars attached to the roof of a vehicle, consisting of a base and cross bars that allow you to securely store various types of gear, such as luggage, bicycles, canoes, kayaks, skis, or various carriers and containers. They allow users of a vehicle to transport items on the roof of the vehicle without compromising passenger space or cargo volume limitations. Key components of a roof rack typically include Crossbars, towers or feet, mounting hardware, attachment points, locking mechanisms.
