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.

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..

roof rack on '07/'08 CR-V LX ?? by expatcanuck

Greetings.
Has anyone here put on (or had put on) a roof rack (Honda or Thule or Yakima) on the CR-V LX? I know that the EX has one, but I don't want the sunroof, and the $2K+ is better spent on other things.
 
My short list now includes a CR-V and a Forester.
 
All help welcome.
 
Thanks.

None of the 07/08 CR-V's come with a roof rack. You have to add them as an accessory, either from the dealer, or aftermarket, like Yakima or Thule.
 
The problem I have with Honda's setup, is the lack of options for bar locations. There's a fixed position for both the front and rear bar, and it's the same, regardless of whether or not your model has a sunroof.
 
If you have Yakima accessories, they have both clips (Q-tower) and landing pad (control tower) options. The clips would give you a longer bar spread, but the landing pads would fit into the existing Honda mounting points, avoiding paint issues, down the road.

The roof rack I bought has a similar design shown in this webpage.

Unfortunately due to the loud whistling wind noise, i decided to dismantle it and keep it in the store room.

I don't have a whistling noise issue with my Honda OEM rack. Maybe it's because I have the mooonroof visor, and it's giving the air just enough lift to clear the bar...
