Fitting the Rear Rhino Rack Roof Rack Crossbar on a 2008 Honda Civic

Question:

The measurements for the bar measurement strip on the front bar worked just fine - 73 mm. BUT the rear bar measurements are not correct- 49 mm - and I am unable to attach the rear bar. Give me the correct measurement or some suggestions on how to determine the correct distance between the legs on the rear bar. Thanks.

I checked with Rhino Rack and they list the rear bar strip measurement as 49mm on each side. This is for a 4-door model. If you have a 2-door model, you will require a different clamp kit, # DK153, and on it the measurement would be 83mm.

Otherwise, a different measurement for the 4-Door is not available. Make sure that the bar spread is correct, measured center to center between the bars, 23.06 inches. If the bars are not at the correct spread then the strip measurement will be off.
