Will Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 Cargo Box Fit 2013 Honda CR-V Factory Roof Rack without Interference

Updated 01/23/2014 | Published 01/21/2014

Question:

Will the Rocket Box 14 fit a 2013 Honda Crv with factory crossbars, without antenna removal and allow the liftgate to fully open? Is the 12 better for clearance of these items or what box should I be looking at?

We have performed a test fit of the Yakima RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, on a 2013 Honda CR-V. The box does fit and does not interfere with the small fin-type antenna or the rear hatch. I have linked the video for you to view.

If you have a different antenna style that sticks up higher than the top of the rear crossbar then you will need to take a measurement to determine if it will interfere with the cargo box. If the crossbars can be moved forward on your CR-V then move the front crossbar as far forward as you can. Then measure from the center of the bar straight back to the closest part of the antenna that would interfere with a cargo box.

If that distance is 45 inches or more then it will not interfere with the antenna. If you come up with a lower measurement then let me know what it is and I can recommend a different box.
