Roof trays are typically mounted to the vehicle roof with the tray being attached to roof rack crossbars. The range of positions to which an accessory can be attached to known roof trays may be limited, for example by where placements of bolt holes have been located by the manufacturer. The present invention relates to an improved design for roof tray extrusions, comprising a novel mounting portion on a wall rail or rails of the roof tray, and the provision of additional slots slot infill's offering greater flexibility in mounting points for various accessories onto the rails, as well as minimising wind noise.
