Some trimming of the rear fascia on your 2020 Honda CR-V is indeed required when installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98848 to allow clearance for the drop-down receiver. You will just need to use some shears/snips to trim about 3" x 1-3/8" section from the bumper, as shown in the attached image from the install manual.
This trimming is what allows the hidden-crosstube appearance of the hitch where only the 2" receiver is actually visible. I have attached a full installation... view full answer...
Installing the Replacement Sidewind Gear Kit, item # BD500106, is fairly easy. You will need to remove the cap at the top of the jack. The handle and gears are held in place with roll pins that will need to be removed. Once the handle roll pin is removed, you can then remove the handle and gears. Be sure to note the orientation of each part as you remove them.
Remove the bottom gear by lifting it out. If the bottom roll pin is damaged, remove it also. When replacing the bottom roll pin,... view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Roadmaster and he told me that the Brake-Lite Relay, # RM-88400, will not interfere with auto start feature on your 2013 Honda CR-V. The Brake-Lite Relay connects to the blue brake light wire wire coming from the brake light switch that powers the brake lights. It does not connect to the circuit that shuts off your engine to prevent theft.
When installing the Brake-Lite Relay on your vehicle, you will want to follow the Standard (Normally Open) Installation... view full answer...
If you'd like you can absolutely hit the highway and go 75 mph with loaded bikes using the Swagman Chinook 2 Bike Platform Rack # S64683.
This rack does not have a speed limit rating and has an anti-rattle hitch lock which makes it so the vibration at higher speeds isn't going to make the rack louder. view full answer...
For your 1999 Honda CR-V with bare roof I suggest the quiet Vortex Aero rack that consists of parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK053 and this clamp-on-type rack system installs without drilling.

The method of connection will depend on which manufacturers tow bar you are using. Some vehicles use a base plate kit that features removable draw bars, which might be what you have (see photo). The type of base plate for the 1998 CRV uses standard base plates, which are not removable. There is also a base plate kit, # 1528-3 that would allow the draw bars to be removed. For a Roadmaster tow bar, you would use a set of quick disconnects, part # RM-201. One half of the disconnect would... view full answer...
The Thule Stacker # TH830 is a great solution to secure a few 10 foot kayaks on their side. The carrier does include a set of tie-downs but you will need to add extra straps # TH855XT and # 753-2030-02 for all 3 of the kayaks.
When actually securing the kayaks onto the roof of your CR-V I absolutely recommend attaching the ropes to the front and back ends of the vehicle. This prevents wind during travel from catching underneath the kayak and trying to lift it off the roof. Simply looping... view full answer...

With a 2016 Honda CR-V, the appropriate Rhino-Rack crossbar system for the naked roof is:
54" Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars, part # RB1375B-2
2500 Series Legs, part # RRRLKHD
Custom DK Fit Kit, part # DK284
It looks like you have the right legs and fit kit but have the shorter crossbars. This isn't a tested fit, so there's a chance it will not work. However, if your are trying this, then your solution would be the best route. Take the difference divided by 2 (3" on each side), and subtract... view full answer...
If your older Karrite Cargo Box does not have holes for your u-bolts, then you can drill in the holes.
We've found a good method for this here that involves centering your box on your rack and marking the bolts with paint. From there, you can drill into the box for the bolts.
I've linked to a video below that demonstrates how to do this on the Trunx Rooftop Cargo Carrier, part # TRX44FR. It's for a different box and a different reason, but the application is the same. At the 12:36 mark,... view full answer...

Your 2015 Honda CR-V can be fitted with any of three classes of hitch receiver, either Class I or Class II in the 1-1/4-inch size, or a Class III type that has a 2-inch receiver opening. I recommend you use a 2-inch Class III hitch like Draw-Tite # 75742 because this will provide higher capacity if you're going to tow, better safety margin and broader compatibility with a range of hitch-mount accessories like bike racks and cargo carriers.

Thanks so much for your purchase of the Inno Tire Hold 2 Bike Platform Rack # INH120. And that is a good question about how the rack is secured to your hitch, as it doesn't have a traditional hitch pin that goes all the way through, so I'll do my best to explain.
The Tire Hold # INH120 is locked into the hitch and won't fall or be pulled off due to the tensioning hand knob at the front. After you tighten it in the hitch, which expands the shank, you lock the knob, and what this does is... view full answer...
The ICX Braking Monitor # RM-9430 will tie into the brake pedal switch if your brake lights come on your 2004 Honda CR-V when it is in tow mode and the brake pedal is pressed. If your brake lights do not come on when the brake pedal is pressed you will need a Stop Light Switch # RM-751000 to install the Roadmaster Even Brake Portable Supplemental Braking System # RM-9400.
You will not tie into the existing Curt 58949 harness as that would confuse the monitor as anytime your brake lights... view full answer...
