Question:
I have the Yakima Megawarrior with extension. I can put the Magewarrior on the roof without the extension the way the bars are set now, but its not long enough. Not carrying lots of weight - just tent, canopy, sleeping bags, chairs, etc. Can I move the rear bar back from the point specified in the directions so I can use the extension? Thanks!

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2 you referenced having are a fit for a 2018 Honda CR-V using Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA and Custom DK Fit Kit # DK284 so long as you have a naked roof. Since this is a clamp-on rack, you may be able to technically move the bars to a larger spread to use the Yakima MegaWarrior Extra Large Roof Rack Cargo Basket # Y07080-82 (which requires a crossbar spread of between 36" and 60") but I cannot recommend it.
The spread of the bars is designed to give your roof rack optimum stability and capacity for cargo, and moving them to a different spread would also void the warranty.
