Recommendations for Roof Rack and Cargo Carrier on Honda CR-V
Question:
I assume naked roofinch means buying the car without Hondas add on roof rack? I would like a roof rack and carrier that is easy to put on and take off With the Thule wingbar evo rack, i guess one of the Thule carriers fits best?

That is correct, naked roof mounts attach to the (vehicles) VEHICLE'S door frame with custom fit kits. If you get the add on roof rack you will need a different custom fit kit to mount to the Honda's rails instead.
I recommend an Aero style bar for less wind drag and to reduce noise. If you get the roof rack rail system I suggest the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long # TH711220, with the Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH460R, and the Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet # THKIT3166.
For a naked roof mount you need the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420, with the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501, and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145046.
As for a cargo carrier I recommend the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 22 cu ft - Black AeroSkin # TH6359B. This carrier features speed claps for easy installation to your crossbars, it is lockable, and can be opened from either side of the vehicle. With 22 cu ft of storage you will be surprised at how little cargo you need to carry in your vehicle.
