A roof rack section for motor vehicles, said motor vehicles having roof returns on sides of a vehicle roof, the roof returns having outwardly extending support pins each having a body and a head of larger cross-section than a cross-section of the body, comprising: a transverse beam, transverse beam support means having leg sections for joining to said transverse beam at spaced apart locations and having foot portions with closed slots; said slots being shaped to have first portions sized to receive the heads of the support pins and second smaller sized portions sized and located to receive the bodies of said support pins so as to trap the foot portions; the transverse beam support means thereby supporting the transverse beam without placing a load on the roof of the motor vehicle; and releasable locking means to prevent the foot portions from sliding relative to the support pins and escaping therefrom; whereby said roof rack section may be conveniently mounted to said roof return without contacting or placing a load on the vehicle roof by locating said slots on the support pins and moving said foot portions relative to the support pins until said foot portions are locked in place by said locking means.
