Question:

Will the Y07070 fit a Honda CRV with the factory cross bar Thanks

asked by: Ron B

Expert Reply:

Whether or not the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Cargo Carrier # Y07070 will work with the factory crossbars on your CR-V will depend on the year of the vehicle.

If you have a 2007-2011 Honda CR-V, the LoadWarrior will work with the factory crossbars.

The 2002-2006 Honda CR-V would require the use of the Yakima Extension, part # Y07074, with the LoadWarrior Cargo Carrier. The extension is needed because the crossbars are spaced apart further on this generation of the CR-V.

For a 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, the load warrior will not work with factory crossbars and you would need to install Yakima Crossbars. You would need Yakima Roof Rack, # Y00408, # Y03536 and # Y33TR, which would attach to factory side rails.

You will want to make sure not to exceed the load carrying capacity of your roof as stated in the vehicle owners manual.

I have linked instructions and a video review of the Yakima LoadWarrior Roof Cargo Carrier # Y07070.
