Abstract
In a roof luggage carrier fastening arrangement on a motor vehicle, a support leg of the roof luggage carrier is extended section-wise to the outside of the body and is retained in position by means of a fastening element, whereby the fastening element is screwed into an internal thread fixed on the body side. In order that the roof luggage carrier, with a simple construction, can be installed on the vehicle rapidly and safe against theft, the fastening element is formed by a threaded pin adjustable from a passenger space, which includes an end-retaining section on the side facing the support leg, over which the support leg is adapted to be slipped by means of a longitudinal slot open in the insert direction. By tightening the threaded pin in the direction of the passenger space, the support leg can be clamped against the body.
