roof racks

Car cargo bars

Roof racks are frames mounted on top of a vehicle for carrying cargo that won't fit inside—luggage, bicycles, skis, kayaks, or building materials.

They typically consist of crossbars attached to rails or directly to the roof.

We strapped the canoe to the roof racks.

Also called roof bars or cargo racks.
