Length of Underside Opening for Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars
Question:
What is the minimum width of the tower attachment points for a 65 inch Vortex bar? I understood from a previous answer that the attachment points for these bars is not continuous. How much are a pair of 65 inch Vortex bars? The other crossbar set that you suggested are $XX more than the ones I asked about. You can see why I am not too interested in going that route.

Expert Reply:
The opening on all of the Rhino-Rack Vortex crossbars measures 300mm which is about 11-13/16" so that means for 65" Vortex bars # RRVA165B-2 we are looking at about 41-3/8" between where the legs # RRRCL4 will butt up to the crossbar. Keep in mind that from where the leg will butt up to where the Fit Kit # RRRCP60-BK sits is roughly 2-1/2" so from fit kit to fit kit mounting locations we are looking at about 46-3/8".
This is going to be a greater distance than what you have on your 2017 Honda CR-V which is why you need to use smaller Vortex bars like the 49" # RRVA126S-2.
