Hello Bill.

Yes, you can most definitely open your sunroof with this roof rack installed on your 2025 Honda CR-V. However, it is not advised to open the sunroof due to both wind noise and the potential for interference. The Yakima Custom Fit Roof Rack Kit - JetStream Crossbars - Preorder Y35MD is a great fit for your 2025 Honda CR-V with raised side rails. I also recommend getting the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204 to give you that extra layer of security to deter theft of the rack.

Hey Bill, how did things go with the Yakima roof rack on your CR‑V? Did you notice much wind noise when you tried opening the sunroof? Your experience could help others thinking about the same setup.

@KateF. A little but not enough to bug me. However, I needed to move the bars so they weren’t right above the sunroof. I found that unappealing.

@BillB Glad to hear the noise wasn't bad Bill! I would not like the look of the bars either through the sunroof, I would have moved them as well. I hope 2026 brings you your best adventures yet!
