An end cap and tie down for use with a hollow slat of the type including a base portion adapted to be mounted in contiguous relation to a surface portion of a vehicle and a longitudinally extending slot in the upper surface of the slat communicating with the hollow interior of the slat. The end cap includes a main body portion having a height exceeding the height of the slat and defining a generally vertical abutment surface positioned against a terminal end of the slat to close that end of the slat and position the upper surface of the main body portion above the upper surface of the slat, and an attachment portion projecting from the abutment surface of the main body portion and sized to be received in the hollow of the slat. The tie down is positioned on the slat adjacent the terminal end of the slat in abutting relation to the end cap member and includes a key portion slidably received in the hollow of the slat, an eyelet portion positioned slidably on the upper surface of the slat and a bridge portion positioned slidably in the slot of the slat. The upper surface of the eyelet portion is positioned at the height of the upper surface of the main body portion of the end cap member and has a cross-sectional configuration generally conforming to the cross-sectional configuration of the upper surface of the main body portion of the end cap member.
