Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the field of vehicle parts technology, and more specifically to a roof rack support device. Background Technology
[0002] A car roof rack is a bracket installed on the roof of a vehicle to secure large items. It is a basic component of the roof load-bearing system and its main function is to expand the vehicle's loading space. It is commonly found in SUVs, MPVs and other models. When used in conjunction with roof boxes, roof frames and other equipment, it can carry items such as luggage, bicycles, and skis.
[0003] The installation of car roof racks generally depends on the car model. Some cars come with roof racks pre-installed at the factory. If you don't like them, you can replace them with a different type or remove them altogether. Some cars don't come with roof racks pre-installed, but they have pre-drilled holes on the roof for later installation. Car owners only need to check if there are pre-drilled holes and mounting points on the roof; usually, there are already pre-drilled screws. However, preventing leaks and rust on roof racks is quite complex. If the pre-drilled screws and holes aren't properly protected, rust prevention and removal can be difficult.
[0004] Finally, for roof racks without pre-reserved locations, installation requires drilling holes in the roof of the car, which can affect the strength of the roof. To address this, we propose a roof rack support device that can install the roof rack according to the rain gutters on the roof of the car, without damaging the car itself and protecting the installation location.
