2014 Honda CRV Roof Storage Options
Published 04/20/2021
Question:
Hello, I have a 2014 Honda CRV with siderails installed no crossbars installed. I am interested in procuring a soft shell rooftop luggage carrier for occasional vacations and weekend drives. Im looking for recommendations and also guidance on how these units should best fit on the car. Can soft shell carriers be secured to siderails directly? need crossbars installed? do they best sit on a basket or on the naked roof? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks etrailer!

The most cost effective way to get gear out of the car and the elements than you should get the Rightline Gear Sport # RL100S30. This will attach to your vehicle in the door jambs and this doe not require crossbars. Zach does a great job explaining the features and showing how to install it.
If price isn't a big concern you can get the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack # TH7602B-TH7603B with the Fit Kit for Thule Podium Feet # THKIT3118. Then you can get my favorite box # Y76FR. This one will give you a lot of storage space. Probably not as much as the bag will but that's just the case when comparing soft and hard storage on your roof. This cargo box is my favorite of all of them because it comes with a solar panel to charge your items that are in the box as you drive or hang around wherever your hanging out.
I've included some videos for you to watch to help you decide!
