A vehicle article carrier having a pair of cross bars that can be positioned in a stowed, position, resting on or adjacent to a corresponding pair of siderails, or moved into an operative position with the cross bars extending perpendicularly between the siderails. The cross bars are completely removable from each of the side rails. When the cross bars are in the stowed position, the apparatus presents a significantly more aerodynamic structure that helps to reduce wind noise when the vehicle on which the apparatus is mounted is being driven. The cross bars can be quickly moved into the operative position via latching mechanisms disposed at end that can be released from a securing structure at a forward portion and a rearward portion of each siderail and re-attached to a securing portion of the other siderail.

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle article carrier for supporting articles elevationally above an outer body surface of a vehicle, comprising: a pair of side rails adapted to be fixedly secured to the outer body surface generally parallel to one another; a pair of cross bars assemblies adapted to be secured to said side rails to support articles thereon; each said side rail including mounting structure at a first longitudinal end and at a second longitudinal end opposite to said first longitudinal end; said mounting structure enabling each of said cross bar assemblies to be secured in either a stowed position, wherein each said side rail assembly is secured at said longitudinal ends over a single one of the side rails, and an operative position, wherein the side rails are secured at opposite ends to span between the side rails; each said cross bar assembly including a pivotally supported locking member having a graspable portion and a locking end portion; and wherein said mounting structure at each said longitudinal end of each said side rail includes a keyed opening for receiving said locking end portion to enable said locking member to be secured to said keyed opening by movement of said locking member into a first position, and quickly released from said opening by moving said locking member to a second position and lifting said cross bar assembly off of said side rail. 2. The vehicle article carrier of claim 1, wherein each said side rail includes three spaced apart openings for enabling a rear mounted one of the cross bar assemblies to be secured in either one of two operative positions spanning between the side rails, to thus enable a spacing between a front mounted one of the cross bars and said rear mounted cross bar. 3. The vehicle article carrier of claim 1, wherein each said side rail includes a rear section and a front section adapted to be secured in spaced apart relation to one another on the outer body surface of the vehicle. 4. The vehicle article carrier of claim 1, wherein each said side rail at said rear longitudinal end includes a channel; and wherein a designated pair of said mounting structures each includes a support assembly adapted to be secured to a respective one of said channels such that each one of said designated pairs of mounting structures may be adjustably positioned along its associated said channel. 5. A vehicle article carrier for supporting articles elevationally above an outer body surface of a vehicle, comprising: a pair of side rails adapted to be fixedly secured to the outer body surface generally parallel to one another; a pair of cross bars assemblies adapted to be secured to said side rails to support articles thereon, each said cross bar including a pair of end supports at opposite ends thereof, each said end support including a locking member movable between a locked position and an unlocked position; each said side rail including a mounting structure at a first longitudinal end and at a second longitudinal end opposite to said first longitudinal end; said mounting structures enabling each of said cross bar assemblies to be secured in either a stowed position, wherein each said cross bar assembly is secured at its said first and second longitudinal ends over a single one of the side rails, and an operative position wherein each said cross bar assembly is secured at its said first and second longitudinal ends to span between the side rails; and each said end support being locked to an associated one of said mounting structures when its associated said locking member is in said locked position, and being removable from said associated one of said mounting structures when said locking member is in said unlocked position. 6. The vehicle article carrier of claim 5, wherein each said side rail includes independent front and rear portions adapted to be secured in spaced apart relation to one another on said outer body surface, while longitudinally aligned with one another. 7. The vehicle article carrier of claim 5, wherein one of said first and second longitudinal ends of each said side rail includes a channel; and wherein a designated pair of said mounting structures each includes a mounting assembly slidably disposed in a respective one of said channels, said mounting assemblies each including said keyed opening. 8. The vehicle article carrier of claim 5, wherein each said side rail includes three keyed openings. 9. The vehicle article carrier of claim 5, wherein each said locking member includes a pivotally mounted locking member. 10. The vehicle article carrier of claim 8, wherein one of said cross bar assemblies can be mounted in two different operative positions spanning between said side rails. 11. A side rail assembly for use with a vehicle article carrier system, and adapted to be fixedly secured to an outer body surface of a vehicle to assist in supporting articles elevationally above the outer body surface, the side rail assembly comprising: a side rail member having first and second opposing end portions; each said opposing end portion including a mounting portion having a keyed opening formed therein, said keyed opening adapted to cooperate with structure of a cross bar assembly to enable the cross bar assembly to be quickly secured and detached from the side rail member; and wherein said keyed openings are spaced in accordance with a length of a cross bar assembly to be used with the side rail assembly to allow the cross bar to be secured at its opposite ends to said keyed openings of a single one of the side rail members, or alternatively to keyed openings of a pair of said side rail assemblies disposed parallel to one another.
