roof rail

Vehicle top bar

Roof rails are the lengthwise bars mounted along the top edges of a vehicle, typically an SUV, wagon, or crossover.

They provide attachment points for crossbars, cargo boxes, bike racks, and other accessories.

Factory roof rails are often integrated into the vehicle's design, while aftermarket versions can be added later.
