#1 of 57 07 CRV roof rack cross bars question by gc4auto

Sep 09, 2007 (9:43 am)

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

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.

#7 of 57 2007 Honda CR-V- I need a roof cargo bag that will fit by bailey13

Does anyone know of a soft cargo carrier for the roof that will fit with the narrow cross bars of the '07 CRV? Most that I have found online are 25-38" long and the cross bars only have about 20" between them. It appears those won't fit this model. Any suggestions? We are going on a road trip shortly and need the extra space.

#8 of 57 roof rack wind noise by jeffreynmandy

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.

I have a 2007 CRV (2litres, without sunroof type) and have the same whistling noise problem at speed above 70km/hr. I believe this model cannot fix with sunroof visor. Anyone has any suggestion how to solve this problem? Thanks..
