The present invention relates to a roof rail comprising: an elongated rail profile made of a first sheet material comprising a plurality of bends,
wherein the first sheet material provides a cover part for providing an outermost surface of the roof rail during use, and a mounting part for mounting the rail profile to the vehicle, wherein the mounting part is positioned between sides of the cover part, wherein a first flange wall of the rail profile is provided by a first edge portion of the cover part and a first proximal portion of the mounting part, which are connected, so that an inner surface of the first proximal portion is arranged at a first angle from an inner surface of the first edge portion of the cover part,
wherein a second flange wall of the rail profile is provided by a second edge portion of the cover part, arranged opposite the first edge portion, and a second proximal portion of the mounting part, which are connected, so that an inner surface of the second proximal portion is arranged at a second angle from the an inner surface of the second side portion of the cover part,
wherein the first flange wall or the second flange wall or both is/are folded flange wall(s), wherein the folded flange wall is provided by one or bends in the first sheet material arranged between a proximal portion and an edge portion, and
wherein the mounting part further comprises one or more distal portion(s) configured to provide contact surface(s) for mounting the rail profile to the roof of the vehicle, wherein the distal portion(s) are attached to the proximal portions and arranged at a mounting distance of at least 1 mm, such as at least 2 mm, preferably at least 3 mm above a first plane comprising lowermost parts of the first and second flange walls.
