Our previous 2007 Honda Odyssey came with roof rails from the factory, and I added on the crossbars when I bought the storage topper. Now they don't even come with a roof rack. When I bought the new 2020 Honda Odyssey the dealership quoted me almost $1,000 for the add-on. I said no thanks and decided to figure out how I could get it done cheaper. But the installation turned out to be more involved than I anticipated. In this video, I will walk you through what I had to do to get this installed. In the end, I still would have bought it myself.

Looks like it doesn’t need “cutting”. The mounts rest above the rail… not between the cuts… so I just drilled holes matching the male mount bolts and attached the base that way. With blue locktite… was a bit easier that way, I feel. Great video tho! Thanks.

Man... everything went great until last crossbar. 2 of the holes for the bolts started spinning with the bolts so I could no longer tighten or back out the bolts. They are both for one side of the crossbar attachment. The 2 on the opposite side tightened just fine. I always thought there could be a chance that the bolt strips but didn't think the connector in the hole would be the problem. Not even sure how to address this as I don't want to return everything and start over.

@CarolinaCowboys Жыл бұрын

Oh wow, yes it sounds like the welded nut on the inside of the housing broke off. All is not lost! I have a few ideas. If there is enough of a gap you can hack saw the bolt in half and let it fall on the inside, even if you can't hack saw the bolt you could drill out the head. But then use an expansion bolt instead which is a bolt that will expand inside and tighten it up good. Another option is you can leave those 2 bolts in place and then drive some self tapping screws in between the 2 bolts though it won't be pretty.

@@CarolinaCowboys I called the dealer I purchased from and they said bring it in to show them. I'm going to try that first and maybe a technician can help.

The rails should be standard from the manufacturer. Chrysler got that and the stow and go seats right

⁠well right now I have learned that the tailgate control module is fried and it might be water damage. It lives kind of down gradient from the roof channel on the drivers side and I had Honda stealership install the roof rack. I’m suspicious that the stealership installer damaged the sealant in that channel and water is getting inside. It’s a disgusting mess and I’m pretty unhappy.

Have you started looking for wet spots? It could be as simple as weather stripping. Or if they caused an issue, they may have drilled a hole in your roof, maybe they stripped one of the OEM holes, the only way to know is to take the roof rails back off to see.

nice job but personally I think is not worth it ... dealer install it for about 250.00 no hassle

$250 is money I can spend on something else

Hmm I’m going to let them do it for the money. I’ll screw it up.

It was definitely a bigger project than I anticipated. You might still be better off ordering the parts and paying a mechanic to do the install for you vs the dealership. Here's the links amzn.to/2UtiBaQ and amzn.to/3cOseaj

Were you paid by Honda to make it seem difficult? I did it without instructions 30 min each side with some tin snips.

Thanks! I ended up using tin snips also b/c of your comment. Took 1hr on the first side, then 45mins on the 2nd. Didn't use a tape measure on 2nd side either. Just placed the trim next to the mounting bolts and cut about 1" on either side. Really easy once you install the first side - you see what you're playing with. Tip for using tin snips: cut the bottom metal first, then bend it up and cut the top. This avoids smashing the channel.
