In order to reduce weight, the feet 3 supporting the roof rail 2 comprise a 'U' cross section lower part 5 which is bolted 9 to the roof, and a corresponding inverted 'U' shaped upper part, each having a portion 8 for insertion into rail 2 with a clearance between the two. The parts are attached to the rail by compressing resilient block 17 between the parts and inserting the ends of both parts into the hollow rail 2, a hook 18 on the lower part engages a hole in the rail. The other end of the foot is joined by a lip 15 engaging in a groove 14. The bolts 9 (Fig. 3) may be rivet like with tabs (12) in the lower part 5 engaging in a groove (13) below the head of the bolt.
