A roof-top rail system has a fixed frame mountable to the roof of a vehicle and a moveable frame mounted to the fixed frame. Bearings attached to the frames may engage channels formed in rails of the other frame in a manner such that as the moveable frame slides backward relative to the fixed frame, the moveable frame extends from the back side of the fixed frame. Simultaneously, a back end of the moveable frame rotates down as it extends from the fixed frame to improve access to cargo securing features of the moveable frame.
