Yakima's configurator does not show any racks that fit the 2005 CR-V. As far as I can tell, however, the 2004 and 2005 have the same roof configuration. Does anybody know for sure if the roof rack mounting points are the same for 2004s and 2005s?

| The Honda Australia website shows a cargo barrier that fits behind the rear seat as an available accessory for CR-Vs, but U.S. Honda does not show any such barrier. Does anybody know for sure if the Australian barrier would fit the 2005 U.S. model? FWIW, the Australian cargo barrier is a mesh thingie that is apparently much stronger (and more useful) than the pet barriers available from WeatherTech and its competitors. | |

My 02' CRV has started making this grinding noise when accelerating in 2nd and 3rd gear. It has 54K miles. Think it's a CV joint, or the tranny? The clutch feels fine, no smell, and is still smooth with no slipping. I've never owned a car with CV joints before, so I don't know if that's it or not. When out of gear, the noise is not there, so I don't think it's the engine.

Our 2002 CR-V has under 46000 miles and we believe the AC Compressor has gone out. We will be taking it in to confirm. Our warranty is up. Isn't 46000 too soon for something like this to occur? I read of others experiencing the same problem. Has anyone been successful in getting Honda to cover replacement without having the warranty? If so, how?? Thanks

I’m sure almost everyone with an ’04 and older CR-V agree the 15” x 6” (JJ) RIMS, whether alloy or steel, as well as stock 205/70-15 tires (26.6” diameter – 8.2” section width – 783 revs per mile) are a bit “undersized”, which definitely was verified by the 2005’s having 16” RIMS and 215/65 tires. I DON’T want to “debate” this, but want professional / expert opinions. I own an ’04 EX, but to get thru New England Winters, I purchased (on eBay) ’04 STEEL RIM “take-offs”, like new w/less than 10 miles on them, and from Tirerack.com I purchased four Blizzak WS-50’s. In the Spring when I take off the Blizzaks/Steel rims I DO NOT plan to put back the Alloys with those stinkin’ Duelers. I actually have FIVE brand new, yes never used, 16” X 6.5” (JJ) five-spoke ALLOY rims (also new “take-offs”) from an ’02 Acura TL. When I measured the “interior offset”, that is from the mounting surface back to “inside” lip of wheel, I got 5 7/8” on the 16” Acura Alloys and 5 5/16” on the Honda Steel rims. Important question: Will this 9/16” “inner” offset make a big difference and/or “interfere” with any suspension or body parts, especially if I use 225/60-16 (26.6” diameter – 8.9” section width – 783 revs per mile). By keeping the diameter the same I will not change gear ratio or decrease quick acceleration, and from the side view it will still “look undersized” but I’m sure the improvement in handling with a good set of 225/60’s will make my CR-V a bit better and safer to drive. By the way, the 5-spoke Acura alloys really change the looks of the “stock alloy” ’04 CR-V. Just gotta remember to pop out and change the plastic Acura center caps….. or should I leave ‘em ?? But seriously, what do you think of me using the 16” Acura Alloys ?? |
