Abstract:
A cross bar for mounting a vehicle topper to a roof of a vehicle has a center section with a substantially rectangular cross section. Tapered sections are attached at a proximal end to each side of the center section. Outer plates are located on the distal end of each respective tapered section. The tapered sections increase in cross sectional area from their distal end to their proximal end.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for mounting a vehicle topper to a roof of a vehicle comprising:\n a first and second cross bar, each cross bar comprising:\n a center section having a substantially rectangular cross section and comprising a series of fastener apertures, \n a first and second tapered section extending from either end of said center section, wherein each tapered section has a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of each tapered section is attached to the respective end of the center section, \n a first and second outer plate located on the distal end of each respective tapered section, and \n a wire aperture located in each of the center section, the first outer plate, and the second outer plate, \n wherein said first and second tapered sections continuously increase in cross sectional area from said proximal end to said distal end and comprise a substantially trapezoidal cross section; \n at least four blocks, wherein each is block configured to be placed in the rain ditch of the vehicle below one of the outer plates of the first and second cross bar; at least four rivet nuts, wherein each rivet nut is configured to be placed in the rain ditch of the roof of the vehicle below the respective block; at least four threaded fasteners, wherein each threaded fastener is configured to be passed through one of the outer plates, through the block located below the respective outer plate, and into the rivet nut located below the respective block; and wiring extending from the battery of the vehicle, into one of said wiring apertures located in said outer plates, through the respective tapered section, into the center section, and exiting the wiring aperture located in the center section, wherein said wiring is configured to supply electrical power to the vehicle topper.
