100% bought both the rails and crossbars from your video and they installed super easily on a 2013 Honda CRV. Was extremely easy to install. Thanks for saving me lots of headaches looking for a solution

Yeah for me it's something pretty essential. And these ones from eBay surprised me when they went in relatively smoothly. Instructions were almost useless but I saved a ton of money.

I have a 2014 CR-V Touring model that I bought used from a Honda dealer in 2016. It has the side rails, but not the cross-bars, which I have not purchased. It does have the access hatches in the side rails which you said do not come with the OEM Honda rails. I have always assumed that the side rails came standard with the Touring model, but perhaps these were a dealer installed option. I don't think the previous owner installed them, since I believe it was a leased vehicle.

Great instructions on the rails. I bought a similar eBay unit. The rails went on OK, but it was impossible to line up the bolts of the cross bars with the nuts in the rail. The nuts are just pressed into the rail, and they spin out of the plastic from the side load. So I have rails that serve no purpose.

@Agile47509chicken 5 ай бұрын

I’m about to install the side rails today, thanks for making this video! Update - they must have realized the bolts need an Allen wrench, not torx, because they include an Allen wrench.

No these are very sturdy. Just follow recommended weight. 2 bikes should be fine.

Nice video! How’s the roof rails withstanded the summer heat? Some reviews says those plastic rails can warp in summer heat. Have you put some load on your cross bars since you installed your rack? Thanks 👍🏻

My rails are fine. The base is metal and really the caps are plastic. I've only had about 50 lbs on it so far. Everything feels really solid.

thanks for the video. in the same boat and looking for a cheap diy alternative and this looks great. Think there'd be any issue throwing a thule/cargo box on top?

@LadybugAdventures 2 жыл бұрын

This is very similar to the OEM so I don't think there should be a problem. I would just check the box that you are getting make sure the spacing will work as the crossbars are not adjustable. I'm thinking of getting one as well. So if you get one before me let me know what you get!

I don't think I did. Unfortunately my memory is ridiculously poor. Still have it on my car and it is working really well.

Gteat detailed video, thanks. At time 7:21, it looks like the front if the rail is a bit hacked up? Does the moulding maybe go into yhat rail yhete? Doesnt seem right. Thoughts? Am I seeing it wrong?

It may not fit totally flush. As far as I know there is no issue with that front area.

My apologies if this was answered in the video, but are the cross bars fixed into one position or can they be moved/adjusted as needed?

This oem design is fixed in one position.

Hi, thanks for the very informative video! What material are the rails made of?

@LadybugAdventures 9 ай бұрын

It seems to be some sort of metal on the inside. I'm guessing steel. And then plastic on the outside. It really is meant to work those specific cross bars. I don't think I would trust to place anything else along other parts of the rail.

I just bought a rhino rack (crossbars) from e trailer. Will they fit these side rails?

@LadybugAdventures Жыл бұрын

I can't say for certain. Roof rails that I installed are specifically for this rail system. I don't know how sturdy the plastic is along the rest of the rail.

@danielmaupin5863 Жыл бұрын

Are the side rails flush and sturdy to your CRV all the way down. I bought a pair of side rails recently and they seemed to lift off the roof a few centimeters when I would rock them back and forth?
