Expert Reply:
I spoke to my contact at Thule and he said there are no trunk mounted bike rack fits for the 2004 Honda CR-V because there is no way to attach the lower clips of the rack to the rear door of the vehicle.
Your best option would be a hitch mounted bike rack. If you don't have a hitch you would first need to start with one like the Curt Hitch part # 13535. See install video.
For a bike rack the most popular one we carry is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This is a great rack that is very popular with our customers. See review video I attached.
