Most Popular Complete Roof Systems for 2020 Honda CR-V

Easy to assemble and, solidly built. Very easy/fast to mount/remove after assembly. The instructions are not all that clear for assembly of the combined sr1003 sr1116. I hope this photo will help. Note that the rubber feet remain on the back bar that crosses the car, but the hook that goes under the door frame is transferred to the sr1116 front to back extender bar.

The rack was fairly easy to put on, do NOT over tighten the rectangular nuts on assembly. They are easy to strip. There are now backup nuts on all four bolts on our unit. Be careful to assure that the rubber pads are correctly positioned on the unit's "feet" before tightening it down on your roof. It looks good and on a recent trip from CT to TN and back, we got the best fuel mileage we've gotten since we bought our CRV over a year ago so it sure doesn't create a lot of drag! Once mounted it is sturdy and not unattractive although the side clamps do distort the door gaskets a bit which increased the wind sound level a bit. I think it is a good value if you are careful mounting it.

Well packed, easy instructions, solid installation feeling with professional results. Dressed in business casual, I removed the covers and installed the racks in less than 30 minutes so we could drive it on the expressway and check for wind noise and no wind noise. The Allen wrench tool worked great, there was minor alignment on one nut, other wise, with a small flat headed screw driver to remove the covers, and a Phillips head screw driver to secure the bars, it was really straight forward and easy to get professional results. We just attached a hundred pounds of wood and it rode perfectly and again no noticeable noise or issues of any kind. I kept the heavy plastic packing and slit it to protect the bars from scuffing, wrapping the clear plastic and securing it with small strips of 3M duct tape and then remover them. We used one of the packing bags to place the instructions, the old covers, and the covers provided and the tool to store with the spare tire. Great design, we like the black, on a black car and it works great. Thanks for a great product and your video guides ensure even a first timer, has the confidence to do it and do it right. One recommendation: Deburr the inside of the aluminum extrusion (mounting bracket) and the tube slides in easily for everyone. Regardless, it went together with a little extra pressure.

Installation was easy, about 15 mins tops, solid product. I like how this fits seamlessly like it came with the CRV but of a higher quality.

Was a little intimidated when I saw all the parts but it came together nicely and appears quite sturdy. Strapped the paddle boards on top and took off!

The installation video is quite helpful, and I was able to install my new crossbars without any trouble. I highly recommend buying through etrailer.com - they have earned my business again!

So far so good! Haven't loaded it yet but it is sturdy and solid. Everything came perfectly cut to fit, zero issues whatsoever! The rails were aftermarket and there were no issues with those being compatible with the cross bars either. Plan to add bike racks and cargo box. etrailer gets it right!

Easy to install, it's very strong, easy to transport my kayaks, and my attached Thule Stackers work well with it. It's a great rack mounted on my factory Honda CRV roof rails.

It’s a nice looking item, the only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because on my 2016 CRV the piece on the front sits flush to the bracket in the contrary; the back piece has 1.5” of overhang on both sides. I guess I should have ordered the longer version instead of the 47”
