Replying to: pinibo (Feb 26, 2008 2:32 pm) the warning is "when using the roof rack you are more prone to tipping" can get you the page # if you want. Replies to this message: pinibo (Feb 27, 2008 4:15 pm)

Replying to: stevegio (Feb 27, 2008 2:28 pm) "when using the roof rack..."   So, I assume it is safe to add a roof rack and not use it, right? )   All in good jest, stevegio. No disrespect meant.
#31 of 38 Re: roof rack on '07/'08 CR-V LX ?? [tidester] by stevedebi Feb 29, 2008 (11:33 am)
Replying to: tidester (Feb 25, 2008 9:08 pm) "A typical load of about 160 lbs will raise the center of gravity by about 1.5 inches which means that instead of rolling over at a tilt of 40° you'll roll at 39.85°. Personally, I wouldn't be too concerned. "   What is the weight limit for the Gen 3? I seem to recall that Honda allowed only around 75 lbs on the roof rack for the Gen 2.

Replying to: expatcanuck (Dec 26, 2007 6:47 am) I purchased an aftermarket roof rack online (eBay, I think) made for the CR-V. It was about $135, and you can get a Honda one at hondapartsdeals.com for about $205. It was VERY easy to install. I have the Yakima kayak attachments for it. You have to also buy the Yakima universal mounts/clips to make any of their parts work, though.

We just installed a Honda roof rack on our CRV for a trip to Florida. How do you use this thing. No side rails. Cross rails do not move and how do you tie things without them sliding off the sides? It looks like they make it so you must buy the basket for $700.. Talked to the dealer - no help they don't know either. Thanks
#34 of 38 Roof rack installation by markk1 Nov 09, 2009 (7:10 pm)
I am purchasing a new CRV and would like a roof rack, probably the Honda one. Is it easy to install or do I need the dealer to install it? I plan on using it for skis only. Will it be easy to uninstall and reinstall each year? I read something about needing to remove the paint covering the threads. is that a one time activity?
#36 of 38 2009 CR-V roof rack. by mkimel Nov 16, 2009 (6:28 am)
I have a 2009 Honda CR-V. I have the dealer installed roof rack. I am having trouble with the cross rails...are they adjustable? I took the the thing apart and unless I'm missing something the cross rails appear to be fixed. This doesn't help me because my car top carrier doesn't fit where the cross rails are.   Can someone help? Are the cross rails adjustable and if so, can you tell me how I adjust them?   Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: wallement (Nov 16, 2009 9:20 am)

Replying to: mkimel (Nov 16, 2009 6:28 am) Cross rails are not adjustable on my 2010. I assume the 2009 is the same way. Kinda goofy, I think, but thats the way it works.
#38 of 38 cross bars by motoguy128 Dec 03, 2009 (8:52 am)
I think there may be some aftermarket cross bars that may be adjustable.   although, normally I think the better car top carriers are usually adjustable or corss bar position.
