The invention aims to eliminate the risk of scratching of the roof (2), in particular of a roof arch (1, 1s) of a vehicle during operations for mounting/dismounting a roof rack. For this purpose, the invention proposes guiding the movement of the clamping jaws (51) of the carrying bar of the roof rack, such that the movements of the jaws (51) take place at a sufficient distance from the roof, in particular from the roof arch (1s). In one embodiment, a roof rack according to the invention comprises carrying bars provided with clamping jaws (51) clamping onto fastening rails (3) attached to the roof (2). The bearing surface (51i) of each jaw (51) is covered with a base (9') and has protuberances (91) formed in the inner end of the bearing surface (51i) in the thickness of the base (9'). The bearing surface (51i) therefore remains at a distance (D) from the rail (3) during movements (23) of the jaw (51) when fitting or removing the carrying bar, which makes it possible to maintain a predefined distance substantially equal to "D" between the lower part (50) of the jaw (51) and the roof (2), in particular the roof arch (1, 1s).
