The invention relates to a covering device for covering a mounting recess in a cover strip of a vehicle roof. Mounting recesses of this type are, for example, provided for fastening the feet of a roof luggage carrier. The covering device is comprised of an insertion part ( 1 ), which can be positioned inside the cover strip ( 3 ), and of a hinged cover ( 2 ), which is mounted in bearing shells ( 7 ) in a manner that enables it to pivot about an axis in the longitudinal direction of the strip and which fills the recess ( 4 ) when in a closed position. Said hinged cover comprises both bearing journals ( 6 ), which are shaped thereon at both ends, as well as detent journals ( 11 ), which can be locked in an open and closed position by means of spring elements ( 12 ). These spring elements are shaped onto the insertion part ( 1 ) and act upon the detent journals ( 11 ). The hinged cover ( 2 ), when in an open position, enables an unhindered access to the recess ( 4 ) by virtue of the fact that the bearing journals ( 6 ) and detent journals ( 11 ) are shaped onto the hinged cover ( 2 ) via a U-shaped element ( 5 ), which is dimensioned in such a manner that the edge ( 8 ) of the recess ( 4 ) projects into the open space ( 9 ) of the element ( 5 ) when the hinged cover ( 2 ) is open.
