#217 of 1069 Cargo Cover Installation by cls6spd Oct 01, 2003 (1:50 pm)
Maryclover - I installed my cover last week. Here's how it is done. Below each rear side window, there is a plastic cover that prys out easily with a flat bladed screw driver. Once the covers are out, you afix an adhesive backed fabric strip to each surface where the cargo cover clips into. Now all you have to do is insert the left side of the cargo cover first then compress it slightly so it shortens enough to insert the right side. The forward portion of the cover clips to headrest supports at four places. The rear portion hooks to the grooves in the upper trim panel. It is that easy. DON'T PAY TO HAVE THIS DONE! By the way, it makes the interior quieter by damping out some of the road/tire noise at the rear of the vehicle.
#218 of 1069 Cargo Cover Not Worth It by dutchboy20874 Oct 02, 2003 (10:59 am)
I have kept the cargo cover in my garage since soon after having it installed. It is a little bit ugly. With the tinted windows on the EX you don't have to worry about cargo being in view of passersby.   Varmint: I bought my CR-V specifically to haul my two 100# greyhounds Dig and Max.   They love it as much as I do.

100 lbs each! Those are pretty big puppies. Mine are only 80 and 65 lbs.   Both of mine like to ride in the CR-V, but I think it's mostly because they don't like it when we leave them behind. Though, one of them constantly looks out the window with a thoughtful expression. I'd swear she's thinking about what she could have done to the competition if she had a CR-V while racing on the track.
#220 of 1069 looking to purchace bike rack and hitch-2003 cr-v by marji1 Oct 05, 2003 (5:30 pm)
i want to purchase a bike rack to carry two bikes. id rather not buy a rack that attaches to the spare tire. i realize that i would have to get a hitch underneath my 2003 cr-v. the dealer charges a great amount for a cr-v hitch and installation. i may be able to get one another place for alot less.   not sure which bike racks would do best for my cr-v. any suggestions from the knowledgable ones out there???   thanks in advance.
#221 of 1069 Towing a Pop-Up Trailer w/ 04 CRV? by tomk17 Oct 07, 2003 (9:00 am)
Just joined the CVR "club" and bought an 04 EX auto. I know the towing capacity is 1500 lbs but what the heck does a pop-up trailer weigh? I don't own a trailer yet and I know the weight is typically posted on the trailer but surely someone is doing it now.

I believe only the smallest campers fall within the 1,500 lbs limit of the CR-V.
#223 of 1069 Towing a Pop-Up Trailer w/ 04 CRV? - tomk17 by theracoon Oct 07, 2003 (1:17 pm)
I have a '99 CR-V, which has a recommended trailer weight limit of 1,000 lbs. The smallest, lightest pop-up camping trailer I've been able to find is just under 1,000 lbs. A little time researching pop-up trailers on the web shows the weight of a large pop-up can exceed 3,000 lbs when loaded with all of your camping gear.   You'll see two weights, unladen and gross. The unladen weight is the empty trailer with no equipment, no water, no propane in the tank, etc. The gross weight is fully loaded weight of the trailer, including the trailer manufacturers maximum recommended cargo load (for the trailer). The gross weight is the one you want to pay attention too, since it's very unlikely you'll go camping without ice chests/coolers, food, clothing, sleeping bags/bedding, and other camping gear. The gross weight is the amount your CR-V will be pulling.   Good luck and have fun camping!
#224 of 1069 Cargo Liners - Huskey vs Weathertech by tomk17 Oct 08, 2003 (8:58 am)
I plan to purchase a cargo liner for my new CRV. Checking Autoanything.com, I see a Huskey liner for $68 and free shipping vs the Weathertech liner for $99 delivered. The only diff looks like a 2" lip on the Huskey vs 3" on the weathertech model. Any experiences would be appreciated.
#225 of 1069 Whistling Luggage Racks by longvusu Oct 09, 2003 (5:42 pm)
Has anyone come up with a solution for preventing, reducing, or eliminating the whistling sound of luggage racks installed on top? I want to know if it has to do with HOW it is installed.
#226 of 1069 Protective Film for Headlights? by tomk17 Oct 29, 2003 (7:27 am)
Sorry for the duplicate message, I've posted this same inquiry on the other more active message board but this seems like the more applicable place: -- I've seen that 40 mm clear plastic film advertised for use as headlight protection. Looks like about $69 for customer cut pieces for an 04' CR-V. Based on the size of the lenses on the V and the sand / salt used here in the Northeast during the winter, it might be a good investment. I'm not so much worried about lens breakage but minor chipping and pitting over time that would detract from the nice clear look they have now. Has anyone tried this and if so, pls direct me to any good sources. Thanks
