Method for producing a roof rail, extruded profile therefor and roof railing for a vehicle

Method for producing a roof rack (10, 10′) comprising the steps:

• producing an extruded profile section from aluminum, consisting of a tubular profile part with a hollow space (6) enclosed by profile walls (2, 3, 4, 5) and additionally consisting of at least one profile web (7, 7′) that is connected at one end to the tubular profile part and faces downward with its other, free end (8),
• in which the profile web (7′) in front of a lateral profile wall (4) and forms with this profile wall (4) a groove (9) that is open toward the bottom,
• in which at the top end of the groove (9) is located a passage (15) extending in the longitudinal direction of the tubular profile and open toward the outside,
• cutting extruded profiles (1) of a desired length from the extruded profile section (1),
• creating a desired lateral contour line (9) on the extruded profiles (1) by machining of the at least one profile web (7, 7′) that are present.
