What you will need to measure is the distance from the center of your hitch pin hole to the furthest point at the rear of the vehicle that may interfere with a bike rack. This rack measures 10-1/2 inches from the... view full answer...
The Covercraft Ultra'tect Custom Fit Outdoor Vehicle Cover # C16482UL that you referenced is designed to provide protection for your vehicle from the UV rays.

There are a couple of differences between the two. The JetStream bars like # Y00425 are made of extruded aluminum while the CoreBars such as the # Y00421 you've looked at are constructed of galvanized steel. As you've mentioned, the CoreBar has a higher capacity. The primary difference is that the JetStream bars feature the T-Slot channel at the top that allows quick and easy accessory installation, while accessories used with the CoreBars would need to clamp around the crossbar.

For your 2013 Acura TL, I recommend the Yakima CoreBar Roof Rack System. The bars themselves are part # Y00421. They are heavy-duty (made from steel) and quiet (aero-style). They'll be able to handle the weight of kayak with no problem. I've linked to a video review of these bars for you to look at.
The other parts needed for this system are:
BaseLine Towers - part # Y28TR
Two BaseClip Fit Kits - part # Y06162 and part # Y06181
For the kayak carrier, I recommend the Malone FoldAway-5,... view full answer...
Installing trailer hitch, # 24755, requires about 7 steps according to the instructions (attached below). Basically, the hitch attaches to the bottom of the trunk (trunk Pan) and to the tow hook already on your 2008 Acura TL. You will need access to the trunk and there is some drilling involved to install this hitch.
When using a bike rack with this hitch, you must be sure to stay within the limits of the hitch. You will need a rack that will fit in a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, works... view full answer...
The Thule OutWay # TH45JV would not work well with your Longbikes Eliminator G2. It would be difficult mounting the bike on the arms of the carrier and the carrier has a weight capacity of 33-lbs per bike. I was unable to find the weight of your bike in my research.
The design of the bike and possibly the weight would be very stressful on the back of the vehicle. I recommend installing a trailer hitch like part # 24755 on your Acura and then using a hitch-mounted bike carrier designed... view full answer...
The Thule OutWay # TH45JV is a fit for your 2008 Acura TL. Since the top and bottom legs and the arms all move independently of each other, you will be able to fine tune the fit so that you will not have the problems that you are having with your current bike rack. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
You could also consider an adapter bar to help you mount the bike on the rack. You can use Thule adapter bar # TH982XT or one of the others shown on the linked page.... view full answer...
For your 2014 Acura TL, I recommend starting with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C11496. This is a class I hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver that bolts to your Acura with included hardware.
Then I recommend the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9025XT which will be limited to 2 bikes with a class 1 hitch which is all that is available for your current vehicle but will fit 4 bikes up to 35 lbs each when you use a class II hitch or a 2 inch hitch receiver... view full answer...
When an adapter or an extender is used, the tongue weight capacity of the hitch is lowered by 50 percent. However, using an extender in addition to an adapter will give an unknown reduction in tongue weight capacity, which is why we don't recommend doing so under any circumstances. The further the load (in this case, the bike rack) is placed away from the receiver tube, the more leverage is applied to the hitch. This will eventually cause the receiver tube to bend and the hitches' attachment... view full answer...
The Sportrack Semi Custom roof rack part # SR1002 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2002 Acura TL so it would work. This rack has a 90 lb capacity though so you would need to be sure that you do not exceed this figure or the roof weight capacity listed in the owners manual of your vehicle. view full answer...
Outside of drilling into the bumper, there are no other modifications required to install the Curt Class I hitch, part # 11321 onto your 2008 Acura TL.

Your Rhino-Rack Roof Rack with square euro bars # RREB126B for your 2004 Acura TL will work with the Thule AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV. The particular Rhino-Rack square bars on your vehicle have the same dimensions as Thule's square bars, 1-1/4 x 7/8 inches. This fairing is compatible with square bars of that size.
I have attached a review video of this fairing for you. view full answer...

Now for the parts needed to tow a trailer with your Acura TL you are on the perfect track! The Curt Class I Frame Receiver Hitch # C11290 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2001 Acura TL and is It features a 2,000 pound towing weight capacity and a 200 pound tongue weight limit.
I have attached the installation instructions that you can take a look at as well.

I recommend first checking with the local laws where you will be towing your 2013 Acura TL. The tail lights on a Tow Dolly # DM9713045 are often the only lights which are required. If this is the case you will only need an Adapter # 337TC2074P to go from the 7-way on the motorhome to the 4-way flat on the trailer.
If you require additional lighting I recommend adding the Magnetic LED Tow Light Kit # TLL21RK. This is a great option as you do not have to wire anything with your lights.... view full answer...
In the attached install instructions for the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118537 there are some instructions on how to route the power wire. I also attached a help article link that covers this topic too. view full answer...
The Rhino Rack roof rack that you purchased was # RR94SR. This part is fit guided for a 2013 Acura TL and this was the vehicle indicated on your order. The last year of production on the Acura RL was in 2012.
The installation measurements are as followed.
From the edge of the front door when closed measured forward to the front of the car to the center of the Rhino Rack crossbar should measure 9-1/16 inches. The rear bar should measure from the center of the front bar to the center of... view full answer...
I looked up the towing capacity of your 2008 Acura TL and found it can tow up to 1,000 lbs so with a hitch installed like the Curt # 11321 you'd be able to tow your jet ski trailer as long as it's under the 1,000 lb capacity of the vehicle.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # C56231 which is a custom fit. For a ball mount you'd then want # 3594 and hitch balls # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball. view full answer...
You are correct the Hidden Hitch Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 60814 (no longer available), and the Draw-Tite Class I 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # 24755, are the same hitch produced by Cequent Performance Products. Both of the hitches will fit your 2008 Acura TL.
The # 24755 Draw-Tite hitch does not include the ball mount and pin and clip. This hitch is sold to someone that might be using the hitch to carry a bike rack on the rear of their vehicle and will not need the ball mount.

The Draw Tite hitch part # 24755 is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Acura TL and would work well to carry a bike rack. Since you like the support of the platform bike racks (I don't blame you), but like the weight of the hanging bike racks I have the perfect solution for you!
