A ladder rack for supporting a ladder on a vehicle. The ladder rack comprises a supporting arrangement anchored only along a single edge area of a rooftop, the supporting arrangement comprising a first load-bearing member entirely extending over the rooftop within an edge of the rooftop and a second load-bearing member extending substantially parallel to the first load-bearing member with a lateral offset, outside the rooftop and away from the edge of the rooftop. A ladder-supporting arrangement holds the ladder and connects to the first load-bearing member and to the first load-bearing member for supporting a weight of the ladder. The remainder of the rooftop surface is exempt of any member and is free for other purposes. The ladder is held on a side of the vehicle with an offset to be able to open a sliding door on the same side of the vehicle as the ladder rack.

A vehicle includes a roof assembly including a roof having an outer facing surface and a roof ditch that extends below the outer facing surface. The roof ditch extends in a vehicle longitudinal direction between a front windshield and a rear window. A roof ditch sealer is located at least partially within the roof ditch. A mounting bracket for mounting a vehicle accessory is located in the roof ditch. The mounting bracket may include sealer dam portions that extend downward at opposite sides of a mounting surface of the mounting bracket to provide end stops for the roof ditch sealer.

A vehicle roof system and a method of controlling the vehicle roof system are provided. The vehicle roof system includes an opening-closing module that is provided on a roof of a vehicle and a loading module that is provided on the top of the opening-closing module. A locking mechanism is also provided within the loading module. The opening-closing module is slid in one direction or in the opposite direction to open or close the roof. The loading module has a loading space that is separated from an indoor space in the vehicle, with the opening-closing module disposed in between. The locking mechanism supports a weight of a load when in operation for locking and no longer supports the weight of the load when in operation for unlocking.
