Helpful Expert Reply:
For installation of your Rhino-Rack on your 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, you will actually want to install your front crossbar first and then install the rear crossbar based on that location. You will want to measure from the seam between your drivers door and passenger door 250mm or 9-27/32 inches and that will be the center of your crossbar. Match that on your passenger side. Then you will want to measure from the center of that crossbar back 650mm or 25-19/32 inches to the center of your rear crossbar. I've attached a photo from the installation instructions to assist.
