A roof rack foot for securing a cross bar to a roof of a vehicle, the cross bar comprising a bottom wall with a slot extending in the longitudinal direction of the cross bar and a cavity for forming an abutment surface on the inner side of the bottom wall adjacent the slot in widthwise direction of the cross bar, wherein the slot comprises a centerline, the roof rack foot comprising:

• a supporting surface for supporting the bottom wall of the cross bar thereupon;
• and
• a first and a second clamping portion for clamping the roof rack foot to the roof of the vehicle, the second clamping portion comprising an anchor with an anchoring arm, the anchor being configured to extend through the slot into the cavity and lock the cross bar to the supporting surface of the roof rack foot by an engagement of the anchoring arm with the abutment surface of the cross bar,
• wherein, when the cross bar is locked to the roof rack foot, the anchoring arm stands upright on the abutment surface and, in a top view on the abutment surface, at least partially extends away from the centerline of the cross bar at an extension angle so that the anchoring arm comprises a section, where the main extension direction of the anchoring arm in said top view comprises a component perpendicular to the centerline of the cross bar,
• wherein the anchoring arm is integrally formed with the anchor.
