Abstract:

A storage rack provides convenient and secure storage of vehicle roof panels or “T-tops”. The storage rack can be used both in a rear compartment of the vehicle during travel or outside the vehicle such as in a garage. The storage rack has two sets of arms to store the T-tops at an angle in the rear compartment of the vehicle to give the driver full visibility out the rear window. The storage rack arms can be put into a flat stow position to reduce the space taken by the storage rack when not being used for storage of the T-tops. The storage rack may be secured to the vehicle to prevent movement during operation of the vehicle. A hook may be incorporated into the storage rack to secure a hatch or glove box lid in the open position.
