Abstract
A roof rack rail supported at each end of the rail on the roof of a vehicle by a support foot. The support foot has a fastening bolt at one end for attaching to the roof of the vehicle and an insertion bolt at the other end for connecting with the end of the rail. A sheet metal stamped reinforcing insert is received in slits in the ends of the bolts for connecting the bolts together. The ends of the bolts and the reinforcement insert are molded in plastic to define the roof rail foot. In an alternative design, the rail is in the form of a tubular sleeve and the insertion bolts for the feet are received in the sleeve. The entire assembly of the sleeve and the reinforcements for the feet is then molded over with plastic which forms the feet and covers over the rail end integrating them with the rail.
