An article carrier (10) for a motor vehicle comprises a stanchion latch operator for a stanchion (24) that supports the end of a crossbar (20, 22) on a side rail of the luggage carrier. The stanchion latch operator comprises a stanchion body (54) having a side rail jaw (40), a crossbar holder (50), and latch chamber (74). The latch body (84) fits within the latch chamber (74) and includes a button flange (86) as well as a lever (88) with a hooked end (90). A pivot mount (78) supports the latch body in the latch chamber about a pivot axis and is biased toward a latched position by a spring (96). The latch body includes a cam surface (89) meeting with a shoulder (82) on an upper chamber to displace the hooked end perpendicular to the pivot axis as the button flange (86) is pivoted about the pivot axis.
