Hey Frank, thanks for reaching out again!

The Yakima ShowDown # Y04081 needs the crossbars to extend at least 3-1/2" out past the towers for proper fitment, and Yakima states not to use these with roof racks that clamp to a roof so you wouldn't be able to use the ShowDown with the naked roof on your 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour.

If you're wanting some help loading the kayak up to the Yakima Kayak Roof Rack w/ Tie-Downs # Y04083-04082 you previously asked about, I recommend checking out the Malone Channel Loader Kayak Load Assist # MAL48FR which can mount on your back window to help extend your reach.
