Expert Answers about Honda Civic


  • Bike Rack for 2 Beach Cruiser Bikes and a 2007 Honda Civic Sedan with Class I Trailer Hitch
  • The best type of bike rack for beach cruiser bikes is going to be a platform style rack. There are many that fit in a Class I trailer hitch but because of the weight of most beach cruisers, I recommend going with the Swagman Chinook, # S64683, rated for 45 pounds per bike. The Thule Apex # TH9024XT can support bikes up to 37.5 lbs each, but anything larger would require a platform style rack. The bike wheels will be held in the wheel cradles and the frame hooks clamp down on the bike...

  • Recommended Mounting Hardware for SportRack Explorer Cargo Box
  • Your SportRack Explorer Cargo Box is designed to attach to crossbars on a vehicle's roof rack system. I cannot recommend mounting the box to your vehicle in any other way. For a nice but economical roof rack that is confirmed to fit your 4-Door Honda Civic, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Euro Bar Roof Rack System. This system consists of # RRVA126B-2 for the two 50 inch Crossbars, # RRRLKVA for the 2500 Series Legs, and # DK152 for the Custom DK Fit Kit. I have attached a short video demonstration...

  • Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2019 Honda Civic Sedan
  • For your 2019 Honda Civic sedan the trunk bike rack I recommend is the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 because it has a wide pad that contacts the vehicle to better distribute the weight of the racks and bikes, is very adjustable so it's easy to install, has cushioned frame cradles, and comes with locks for the racks and the bikes. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter...

  • Bike Rack Solution Recommendation for 2018 Honda Civic with Center Exhaust
  • For your 2018 Honda Civic with center exhaust we have trunk mounted bike racks that will fit, but we do not have any hitches that fit with center mount exhaust so you can't go that route. We have the Hollywood Racks Expedition trunk bike rack part # HRF6-2 which is a fit for the Coupe and Sedan models of the 2018 Honda Civic. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar...

  • Recommended Trunk Mounted Rack to Carry 2 Bikes on a 2005 Honda Civic
  • The Thule OutWay 2-bike rack, # TH45JV, will work on the coupe, sedan, or hatchback Si models of the 2005 Honda Civic. The OutWay comes with anti-sway cradles and a built-in cable lock, and it has a curved shape that lets it clear most factory spoilers. It is also very easy to use, since the attachment straps are tightened with a simple knob. I am including links to the installation instructions and a video showing the various features and a typical installation.

  • Roof Rack and Snowboard Carrier Recommendation for 2009 Honda Civic with Sunroof

Installation is easy and the included locks secure the rack to your roof. In order to carry your snowboards I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier, # RR576.

  • Hitch-Mount Bike Carrier Recommendation For 2013 Honda Civic Si Sedan
  • One of the lighter hitch-mounted hanging bike racks we offer I recommend is the Swagman Titan 2 Bike Rack, part # S63400. This rack weighs about 31 lbs and has a tilting feature which allows you access to the rear cargo area when the bike is unloaded. this also has a steel cable built-in to the mast of the carrier for securing the bikes to the carrier and to help deter thieves. This hitch measures 11-1/4 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the foot of the carrier. I have attached...

  • Thule Snow Chain Max Speed Recommendation
  • With the Thule Tire chains like the Thule Tire Chains # TH00023090 installed we typically recommend a speed rating of between 30-35 miles per hour as the maximum speed. There are no chains that will allow you to travel faster than that. Also, if you are in snowy enough conditions to call for chains you probably shouldn't be going faster than 30-35 MPH even with the extra traction that chains provide.

  • Best SUP Carrier for 2019 Honda Civic Sedan With Rola Roof Rack
  • The Rola Rail Extreme DFE Series Roof Rack R5002 that fits your 2019 Honda Civic 4-door sedan will allow you to use a high-quality stand-up paddleboard carrier. I recommend checking out the Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT because it is easy to use and includes all the needed tie-downs to carry your board. The SUP Shuttle uses brackets which simply clamp onto your Rola crossbars and all you need to do is put your SUP on the carrier, tie it down and off you go. It can hold a pair of SUPs that...

  • Can 2007 Honda Civic with Automatic Transmission be Flat Towed
  • Yes, your 2007 Honda Civic that has an automatic transmission is flat towable as long as you follow the procedures outlined in your owners manual. For a base plate kit the correct Blue Ox part number is the # BX2243. Blue Ox flat towing components are amount the easiest to use and highest quality so we recommend them the highest. For a tow bar then the # BX7420 is a really great option that is also well made and easy to use. For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Honda Civic LX 4 Door
  • There is only one Curt hitch that fits your 2018 Honda Civic sedan and it's the Curt hitch part # C11604. I would actually recommend the Curt part # C92UR instead though for your vehicle because it does not require a stabilizer strap when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack and because only the hitch tube hangs down below the rear bumper so it is much less visible.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for a 2015 Honda Civic Coupe
  • The Inno Aero Crossbar System part # INXB108-115, part # INXS200, and part # INK642 is a great cost effective option for a 2015 Honda Civic Coupe and what I recommend using. In fact, it is the most cost effective option we have with the aero shaped crossbars. It also has a very sleek design since the crossbars don't extend past the mounting feet. I have attached a full list of options below.

  • While there are not vehicle-specific kayak carriers that are custom-made for vehicles, we do have plenty of kayak carriers that can be added to the roof of your 2020 Honda Civic via a roof rack setup. If you do not have a roof rack yet then I recommend looking into Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2. This has the highest weight capacity available, rated at 165lbs. To install this onto your roof you will need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK453. This crossbar setup has a built-in...

  • Best Bike Rack for a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback
  • The ideal bike rack situation for a 2018 Honda Civic Hatchback is to have a hitch and hitch-mounted bike rack. However, if you would rather not go that route, we do have a trunk-mounted bike rack that fits. It's the Saris Bones EX, part # SA803. This hanging-style bike rack can hold 3 bikes up to 35 pounds each (not exceeding a total of 70 pounds), and it's equipped with anti-sway cradles to keep the bikes steady. The arms can be adjusted individually to prevent handle-bar tangles. I've...

  • Can etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 Carry Honda CBR300R
  • The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 would fit all the criteria you mentioned. It has a enough capacity for the weight of your bike and is light weight enough that it's weight plus the weight of your bike would be under the 440 lb tongue weight capacity of your vehicle. I'd recommend trying to center the weight as much as possible on the carrier.

  • Rack Recommendation for 2 Snowboards for a 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback
  • If you just plan on using the rack for carrying 2 snowboards then I recommend using the SeaSucker Ski and Snowboard Carrier # 298-SK2425 for your 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback. If you'd like to have a roof rack on your Honda Civic so that you can utilize other roof mount accessories as well then I recommend installing the Inno Roof Rack: 51" Aero Crossbars - # INXB130-2 Through Feet - # INXS250 Fit Kit - # INK684 This then allows you to use a roof rack mount carrier like the Thule SnowPack...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Honda Civic si Coupe
  • Generally, if a vehicle has a spoiler, Thule says it is a no-fit situation but not to worry because I have an excellent recommendation that will work with your 2009 Honda Civic Coupe si with the rear spoiler. You can use the Thule OutWay # TH45JV. The OutWay is the easiest to install and remove and comes with locks for both the rack and the bikes. This rack has a long reach to go over the spoiler.

  • Best Option for Carrying Bikes with a 2012 Honda Civic
  • Some vehicles have soft bumpers that can dent easily when carrying a trunk mounted bike rack. For these vehicles we strongly recommend the use of a hitch mounted bike rack as this will make no contact with the vehicle. For a hitch for your 2012 Honda Civic you would want the Curt Hitch part # C113914. I attached an install video for you to check out. You will also need a stabilizer strap # 18050 which is required by the Curt hitch to stabilize unsupported loads. The most popular bike...
