Recommended Roof Rack for a 2022 Honda Insight  

Question:

Hi, 2022 Honda Insight, and the Yakima rack you say has 50inch of space. The car is closer to 54 inches wide, actually, so Im wondering whether I can get this setup with longer bars. Thanks, Andy

Hey Andy! The 50" crossbars on the Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Kit item # Y88UB can be swapped out but the next largest size is the 60" Long item # Y00429 so I do not think that's going to be a viable option. By law the crossbars are not supposed to stick out past the rear view mirrors. If you want to pursue this option you'll need the following parts:

BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4 item # Y28TR

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y06182

BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 item # Y06187

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 60" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00429

If you have any additional questions feel free to throw them in the comment box below.

Thanks for the reply. My 50-inch kit will arrive in a day or so, but that's good to know. I'm grateful especially because Yakima itself has back-ordered parts and are no help at all. A

@Andy You're welcome! Happy we were able to get you the parts you needed. What are you using your roof rack for?

@JerredH Moving a college grad back home, and later, kayaks and such. I had a Honda Accord in 1993 when I bought a Yakima rack for my canoe, and because I wanted to reuse the lock cores (the only viable parts on that system) it meant that I had to go with Yakima again.

@Andy Sounds like fun! Yeah Yakima makes it easy to stick with them and their set ups that's for sure. Goodluck with the move and your new roof rack. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
