Abstract
The invention concerns a roof bar assembly (1) comprising a bar, several feet (2) for attaching the bar (6) to the roof of a vehicle and several screws (90) for attaching the bar (6) to each corresponding foot (2). The bar (6) can be attached in a longitudinal position in which the bar (6) is parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle or in a transverse position in which the bar (6) is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The roof bar assembly (1) comprises spacer means positioned between each foot (2) and the bar (6) configured such that, in the transverse position, the distance between an attachment plate (21) of the foot (2) intended to be attached to the roof and the bar (6) is greater than the distance between the attachment plate of the foot (2) and the bar (6) in the longitudinal position.
