The present invention relates to a fastening clamp for a vehicle roof tray. A problem exists in designing mounting systems that are both strong and adaptable to link a substantially flat surface of the roof tray to the substantially non-flat surface of a vehicle roof or roof rack mount system. Known fastening clamp designs either forgo preferred design strength where exaggerated contours exist or work for substantially flat cross bars or substantially flat vehicle roofs. The fastening clamp of the present invention provides the advantage of being able to adapt to varying angles between a planar surface and a varying angle surface and fix both surfaces together. This greater adaptability allows consumers to purchase an alloy tray which fastens to a variety of vehicles or at least a wider variety than is currently the case. .. . .. . . ..\\ ..
