How To Mount Older Yakima RocketBox on a Honda Odyssey Factory Roof Rack
Updated 12/09/2019 | Published 12/08/2019
Question:
I have a Yakima RocketBox and I would like to mount it on the factory rails of a 2009 Honda Odyssey. The mount kit that came with it, the u-bolts arent wide enough to get around my rails. Im willing to drill some new holes, as this was a garage sale find, but wondering if you have something that will work with this setup.

The Replacement Mounting Hardware part # 8870098 will work with older Yakima RocketBoxes and fit factory crossbars up to 3-7/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall. As you mentioned, drilling most likely will be needed as the above kit is a universal mounting kit that may require certain modifications such as drilling holes in able to accommodate certain cargo boxes.
If the factory crossbars are larger than 3-7/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall please let me know and I will see if there are other options.
