Expert Reply:

Yes you can use the Thule Fit Kit # TH145046 with your Thule Rapid Traverse Foot Pack on your 2017 Honda CR-V. This fit kit is compatible with both styles of feet. The Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501 is replacing the Rapid Traverse system.

Can you confirm that the TH145046 is a 1:1 replacement for the THKIT1855, for feet like the rapid traverse, or others that are compatible with the THKIT1855 fit kit?

@BenS The Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145046 is supposed to be the replacement for the Traverse and Rapid Traverse fit kit THKIT1855, but is slightly different. I spoke with Thule to see if the # TH145046 would work with the older model feet and they said the kits were not interchangeable. Zach's answer above states the opposite but he works in our video department and was hands on with these parts back when he answered the question. With the Traverse and Rapid Traverse feet being discontinued we no longer have them in the studio to physically test so I can't confirm that the # TH145046 would work with the older version feet and would instead recommend switching over to the newer Evo feet for naked roofs # TH710501.

@KevinC so if that's not the case, there's going to be an issue.
