Honda CR-V is one of the most widespread family SUVs, but the roof rack mounting changed significantly between individual generations. First, select the generation according to the production year in your vehicle registration document, and then choose the kit prepared for your roof.
The first generation CR-V RD1 from 1997 to 2002 uses raised rails. The successor CR-V RD produced from 2002 to 2006 came with a different solution and racks are mounted onto it via fixing points.
For modern cars, the offer branches out according to equipment level. Generation CR-V RM from 2012 to 2018 and generation CR-V RW from 2018 to 2023 exist in versions with a bare roof as well as with flush rails. For the newer generation CR-V RS, production of which started in 2023, we offer racks designed for flush rails.
While you can read the production year from the car documents, you must check the roof type with your own eyes directly on the vehicle. You can recognize raised rails by the fact that they stand above the roof surface and you can easily slide your hand under them. Flush rails sit directly on the metal sheet and there is no gap underneath them. A bare roof has no guiding elements or protrusions on top.
The exact composition of mounting elements and the fastening method vary according to the specific rack manufacturer. Therefore, always verify the parts list in the selected product description before submitting your order.
The high body structure brings comfort in the cabin, but when loading bicycles onto the roof, you often have to step onto the open door sill or use a small step. If you plan to carry a roof box, keep the total height of the car in mind, especially before entering indoor garages and underground parking lots.
If you are looking for crossbars for smaller urban SUVs, check out the categories for Honda HR-V or Honda ZR-V. You can find the entire assortment of mountings for other cars in the main Honda section.
Choose your CR-V generation from the offer and proceed to verify the roof type.
