Vehicle crossbar assembly
A vehicle crossbar assembly includes a crossbar. The crossbar has a first part and a second part that are movably attached to each other. The first part is configured to be supported to a first roof rack component of a vehicle. The second part is configured to be supported to a second roof rack component of the vehicle. The first and second parts are movable with respect to each other between an installable state and a storage state. The first and second parts extend from one another when in the installable state. The first and second parts are folded with respect to each other in the storage state.
ROOF RACK AND SUNSHADE FOR A CONVERTIBLE ROOF
A roof rack attachable to a convertible roof is provided. A further aspect employs a roof rack with a mounting bracket removeably insertable into a hole or pocket of a fabric convertible roof. In another aspect, a roller sunshade for a convertible roof is provided. Moreover, an additional aspect is of a sunshade assembly which includes a forwardly extendable shade and wind-up roller, and a rearwardly extendable roller shade and wind-up roller.
Endcap lights
The present inventive concept relates to roof bar endcap for a vehicle, said endcap comprising one or more light emitting devices, an envelope arranged to at least partially surround said one or more light emitting devices, said envelope comprising one or more light exit surface portions, wherein said one or more light emitting devices is arranged to emit light through said one or more light exit surfaces, an engagement part adapted to engage a distal end of a roof bar such that the endcap is fixedly attached to said roof bar.
MULTIPLE POSITION ACCESSORY MOUNT
In at least some implementations, an accessory mount for a vehicle includes a first base, a support and a connector coupling the support to the first base. The first base has a first retainer with one or more retention features. The support has a second retainer that has one or more retention features that overlap one or more of the one or more retention features of the first retainer in different positions of the support relative to the first base. At least one of the first retainer and second retainer is movable relative to the other to decouple the first retainer and second retainer without removing the connector from the first base to enable movement of the support to multiple positions relative to the first base.
CROSSMEMBER ASSEMBLY WITH A SCOTCH YOKE FOR AN ADJUSTABLE ROOF RACK OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A crossmember assembly is provided for a motor vehicle having a roof with first and second rails. Each rail has a width within a range of widths, with the first and second rails being spaced from one another by distance within a range of distances. The assembly includes a crossbar having first and second ends and movable along the rails. The assembly further includes a first clamp mechanism engaged with the first end for securing the crossbar to the first rail and a second clamp mechanism engaged with the second end for securing the crossbar to the first rail. Each of the first and second clamp mechanisms includes a stanchion attached to the crossbar and having a first rail gripping surface. Each of the first and second clamp mechanisms further includes a scotch yoke, which has a second rail gripping surface and is movable between clamped and unclamped states.
Tonneau Covers

Moreover, an additional aspect is of a sunshade assembly which includes a forwardly extendable shade and wind-up roller, and a rearwardly extendable roller shade and wind-up roller.
CLAMPING DEVICE AND RELATIVE SYSTEM FOR CONNECTING AT LEAST ONE BAR OR AT LEAST ONE ACCESSORY
Clamping device, to promote the locking of a bar to a vehicle or an accessory to a vehicle, comprising a bolt, provided with a shank and a locking head, the latter connected to a prismatic guide, connectable to an auxiliary body. The device further comprises a movable actuating element, which is movable following a command given by an operator, from a rest position, in which the bolt and auxiliary body are in a contact relationship, to an operating position, in which the bolt and auxiliary body are locked together. The device further includes an adjustment bushing, coupled to the bolt, adapted to impart a translation of the actuating element towards the auxiliary body. Said adjustment bushing allowing a preliminary adjustment of the position of the actuating element with respect to the auxiliary body prior to the movement of the actuating element from the rest position to the operating position.
