Abstract
An infill device may include a lower portion pressing against a floor portion of a cavity of a slotted crossbar of a vehicle rack, and an upper portion pressing upward on first and second opposing lips of a longitudinal opening to the cavity. The infill is operable between a flush position corresponding to the upper portion substantially filling the opening, and a compressed position corresponding to the upper portion moving away from the opposing lips and closer to the floor portion to allow a retention device of a cargo-specific rack accessory to enter the channel and clamp the opposing lips.
