How to Install Roof Racks on Your Honda SUV
Expanding the utility of your SUV allows you to carry more gear for your weekend adventures, from mountain bikes to kayaks. For the versatile Honda CR-V, a high-quality roof rack or luggage rack is an essential upgrade. A poorly installed or non-genuine rack can lead to excessive wind noise, reduced fuel efficiency, and even dangerous structural failure at highway speeds.
Easy Steps to Install Your Roof Racks
While the exact steps can vary depending on the model or exact CR-V accessory, use the following guidelines to mount your roof rack safely:
1. Clean the Roof Rails
Thoroughly wash the existing rails and mounting points to remove any dirt or grit that could scratch the finish.
2. Identify Front and Rear Bars
Check the labels on your genuine Honda rack; the front and rear crossbars are often different lengths to match the roof's taper.
3. Align with Mounting Marks
Locate the small indentation marks on the inside of the roof rails.
4. Seat the Support Brackets
Position the brackets over the mounting points and hand-start the bolts to ensure they are not cross-threaded into the frame.
5. Torque to Specification
Use the provided torque tool to tighten the bolts until they reach the factory limit.
6. Verify Clearance and Quiet
Perform a test drive at highway speeds to check for any whistling. If noise is present, ensure the rubber gaskets are fully seated.
