The embodiment enclosed relates to systems and methods for aiding a user in accessing the roof of a vehicle. The user may be accessing items stored on the roof, cleaning the roof, or otherwise performing some desired action relating to the roof/upper exterior area of a vehicle. The user may additionally be attempting to reach other elevated areas of the vehicle. The embodiment may include a ladder which may attach to a roof rack system attached to a vehicle. The roof rack system may be installed by the manufacturer or may be a third party, aftermarket system. The ladder system may easily detach and attach to the roof rack system and may enable a user to access various elevated portions of the vehicle. The ladder may store in proximity to the roof when not in use and therefore may enable a user to easily access the ladder when desired. In some embodiments, the ladder may additionally and/or alternatively be stored proximate the vehicle to enable access to elevated areas of the vehicle.
