Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I have these same rails coming and I had no idea how to install them. I actually have the exact same car that you do color and everything. The black looks really good on the rails!

Your video helped me to Install roof rack rails and cross bars on my 2019 CRV, thankyou

Fantastic! Just bought a 2021 CRV, and was wondering how to install roof racks. Thanks for passing along your knowledge!

Your video sound cut off right when you were explaining where to cut off the black trim. I have same car as yours and considering getting the rails and cross bars, but would like to know the measurement. Appreciate it!

Just finished the installation. Thanks to Erick for this video because the instructions in the kit, though usable could be better. The video is the ticket. First, the quality of the rails and cross bars is very good. As he says, the gaskets are not great, in my opinion just ok. Could water get into the channel. Possibly, but I am not going to worry about that. I bought a cheap trim removal kit from amazon...the least expensive, ( 6 bucks, or so)..didn't have to really use my fingers to pry. I popped off the rails in a minute. I had a yard sale Dremel, picked up the cheap diamond cut off wheels from harbor freight. Cutting off the trim went smoothly. (Be careful!- do not kink the trim that your not cutting, I did put a small kink in the good trim) everything bolted up nicely. The last complaint are those plastic cover plates for the cross bars. They suck..the bar end's must be perfectly square to snap on and that was impossible as the bars have to be adjusted to the rails to sit square...but, no big deal, you don't need them. I did get mine on but most likely they will fall off in the future.

Awesome work. You will love that crossbar, its really a helpful upgrade especially for outdoor activity. Love the crossbars on my truck, could buy anything as long as its as long as my truck

Just got my 2022 exact crv and going to put this on mine as well..ty for the video

Thank you, mate. This video helped me a lot!

Thank you Erick!

Thank you for the video it really helped my husband

Great Video!! Thanks for the help.

I own the same suv but mine is sport edition and the same colour. Do more videos on it. Good job.

Thank you.

Good video.

Nice job thanks

From 3:35 - 4:30 the sound cut out and I feel like I'm missing some info you're giving on why you need to cut the trim piece?

It's actually a drainage route it's supposed to be like this

i wish the bar is longer.. i have 2 kayaks to haul

Hey bud, I scrolled through the first five results for CRV rails and racks and they all sucked compared to yours. Thank you!!!

It looks like it's not a water tight connection where the part connects to the metal cross bar. How does the water drain out that gets inside the rails during rain or washing? Have you noticed any rusting?

Thanks so much men

Awesome video! I watched this like 5 times before installing my (amazon purchased) rails on a 2018 CR-V EX. Perfect explanation and my install went just as smoothly! I used a oscillating tool to cut the old channel covers off which made that part way easy. The seals were a little shoddy too - the inside ones laid flat but the outer ones went into channel. I had dirt and whatever in the channels so those original covers don't really keep to much out anyway. Since its painted, I'm not worried - can probably just remove the rails every year or 2 and check for crud/debris (I'm in Canada so more rust potential). It seems bombproof solid once torqued down. Only difference was I used Rhino Rack cross bars. Thanks Erick! @Tim Piper, those star shaped plastic caps can be removed using a torx (T5?) or just pried out. They're plastic and disposable. @David Soh, 26.5" bar to bar

Nice I’m waiting for my 2022 Honda CRV EX gray with gray interior cloth seats . Thank you for the video I have an ideas how to install the rails. The dealer wanted 1000k for the rails and the crossbar I said no. And thank you for giving me an ideas in how to put the dash camera 🎥. I’m really looking forward for the car. I did not like the design LMF the 2023 CRV almost looks like the RAV4 specially the front. Please post more videos of any accessories that you might put on your CRV.

Do you think a pvc pipe cutter would work to trim the existing molding?

what do you put down to protect the roof if you place luggage up there?

Fantastic video! We wanted to put up a roof rack on our 2018 CRV (which is essentially the same as a 2020) but thought it was a difficult process. I know it's only a month, but how is it holding up? Thanks

How'd it hold up after 3 years?

How far do you cut on the original trim?

How do you know where exactly to cut

Mute at important part?

How is the bar holding up?

It is fit for cr v 2024 too

Does this work with other models ebay says otherwise (I have the 20 lx)

What model # for the roof rails and cross bars

dont know if you're aware by now the video went mute after 3.25 minutes .good video though.thanks

How is it working so far? Any complains?

The link isnt working anymore, whats the name?

Is it fit with 2021 crv too ?

Any updates on the roof rack yet? I am considering buying this for my 2019 Honda CRV. Thanks!

Hi Erick, great video. Can you kindly send me the link of the seller you bought your roof rail and rack from? I am planninh to buy one. Would you recommend that seller? Thnx

May I know what is the distance between the crossbars? Planning to mount a roof top tent on it. Thanks.

Hey nice video. Your eBay link is broken. Was this the Honda genuine part or aftermarket? The aftermarket are 1/3 the price of Honda so I’m debating getting those instead, but worried about quality. How is yours holding up? Does it get a lot of use?

Hi I'm planning to buy silver colour bar and rails for for my honda CR-V 2020 re can you recommend me any brand I'm meant good quality I'm living in Spain please give me any advice

These after market sets seem to be the only sensible way to go. Not going to pay 1k at Honda, for a rack. The only concern is how good are the seals? If the seals are good then this is the answer.

hey bro! nice video but i have question about your phone tripoD, i would like get something like yours can u link me the brand info. THANKS

Can you or someone send me the link for the exact item(s). Wanting to purchase the same and install. Please and thank you

how did you remove the star shaped screw caps? Just a small philips head?

Thanks I appreciate the info it answered many questions? What brand are the side rails and cross bars?

Great video accessories part number please

Because it's not a factory option... There seems to be a safety problem

Some guy wants to charge $1000 for installation
