Question:
2019 Honda CR-v and I don't have any rails or anything on top. I am looking for the best roof rack to use with different accessories like a bike rack or kayak carrier or cargo box (we like to stay active!) What do you think is the best one?

Expert Reply:
The best roof rack for your 2019 Honda CR-V with a naked roof to help you manage your active lifestyle is from Thule and consists of:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 (Black) OR # TH711400 (Silver)
- Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501
- Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145046
The Thule rack is the best for you because the way it fits on your '19 CR-V allows you to use the full length of the 53 inch crossbars, which means you can use a multitude of accessories like bike racks, rooftop cargo boxes and kayak carriers, even some at the same time.
The WingBar Evo crossbars are also quiet, so you can drive to your destination peacefully, as opposed to having to deal with the annoying whistling noise that can occur with other types of crossbars. The reason the bars are quiet is because they are aerodynamic with a tapered shape and what are called WindDiffusers on top, rubber strips that help control the air flow over your CR-V.
This aero shape of the WingBar Evo also give your 2019 CR-V a distinctively clean look as you can see by the photos I added, which are of this roof rack installed on a '19 Honda CR-V.
Apart from being really useful, quiet and sleek looking, the WingBar Evo is also simple to use; it has QuickAccess strips in its T-slots so you can use channel-mounted accessories without issue. This saves you the time and frustration that comes with using crossbars that require you to cut the rubber trim to use the T-slot. All you have to do to mount any accessory in the T-slot of the WingBar is twist the SwingBlade end caps and slide your accessory right in.
For track-mounted accessories you can use the Thule ProRide XT # TH598004 and for a kayak carrier the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 is a great option because it is designed specifically for Thule crossbars with a T-slot. Clamp-mounted accessories can also be easily used on these crossbars, like the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # TH7326B.
I do recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders so you can lock the roof rack and accessories to your vehicle and secure your investment. These come in a pack of four at part # TH450400 or if you have Thule accessories that can be locked and want everything to be keyed alike, the Cylinders also come in a quantity of six at part # TH450600 or a quantity of eight at part # TH450800.
