I think i read the specs somewhere and it says that the roof rack xbars can only take ~75lb of pressure. Is that true and if it is what exactly does that mean? We can't put more than 75lbs worth of stuff on top? Thanks in advance |

Replying to: gc4auto (Sep 09, 2007 8:43 am) Honda SKU 08L02-SWA-100 With the Honda CR-V Roof Rack, you can haul items on top of your vehicle safely and securely. It prevents damage to your vehicle's interior and frees up more space for your passengers. Numerous attachments are available for the roof rack to accommodate all your hauling needs. Extruded and Die Cast aluminum means long-lasting, sturdy construction. 165 Pound Load Capacity easily installs into existing roof presets. Do NOT EXCEED the weight capacity of your roof rack - see your dealer for details. |

Replying to: gc4auto (Sep 09, 2007 8:43 am) Thanks in advance the 75 lbs limitation is not the limitation of the cross bars, but the vehicle limitation. Having weights in excess of 75 lbs up that high will make your vehicle too top heavy, which will make it more prone to roll over. Regardless of what roof rack you use, you should not exceed the limitations placed on the rooftop cargo carrying capacity.

While the subject of roof racks are up, I was wondering does anyone have a whistling noise from their roof rack. We just bought a 2002 cr-v, and a couple of days later, it was whistling very loud from the wind. I looked in to it and seems elements do it too. My wife liked the look of the rack, so we put a sunroof visor on the sunroof, and it seems to have deflected the wind, because it stopped whistling. So if anyone has that problem, that worked for me.
