US Patent 10351070 Method of interconnecting a vehicle rack

A convertible roof rack is provided that is generally comprised of a front support and a roof rack that is spaced from the roof of a vehicle. The roof rack is also rotatably interconnected to a support structure associated with the rear of the vehicle such that it is capable of moving from a first position of use adjacent to the roof to a second position of use away from the roof where the front support remains interconnected to the vehicle adjacent to the windshield. As such, electrical connections associated with the front support remain intact when the roof rack is rotated away from the roof.
