view full answer... - Where To Cut Underbody Panel and Facia on 2020 Honda CRV to Install Curt Hitch
- The trim area is skewed to the drivers side. In the 2020 model year video, at the 4:15 mark you can see that it is skewed to the drivers side, or to say left of the tow hook.
What our own installers do is to put one bolt in each side (closest to the front) of the hitch loosely then swing the hitch up to the back bumper and marks the areas that need to be trimmed. They feel that most install instructions have you cut more than necessary to ease installation.
I have included links to the...

Installation is pretty straight forward. Most of our customers will add this part themselves.
Take a look at the Roadmaster # RM-521559-5 Direct-Connect base plate kit. This kit will connect and disconnect quickly, is well hidden, AND has a...

- If you look at the instructions and at the picture I have included, it will show you where that cut needs to be made. Even though I cannot recommend altering the instructions, in this case if it does not affect the installation or performance of the hitch in anyway then it is permissible.
Please note the orientation of the panel as indicated in the picture.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # EBMK4. It comes with a ball mount, pin and clip, interchangeable...

- When you install the Thule Spare Me 2 # TH963PRO on the spare tire of your 2003 Honda CR-V you will need to adjust the mounting plate as far to the left (drivers side) as possible. When you load your bikes, you will want to load them in the center of your vehicle rather than in the center of the rack. By using both of these methods, you be as center as possible. I have attached a short installation video on a SUV that has the spare tire more on the right (passengers) side of the vehicle.

- When the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 is in the lower position it's going to make opening the doors to an extent to allow a person in or out basically impossible. The second scenario you mentioned of having a passenger get out and lower the racks so you could get in might be best. But then you'd have to find a way to get out of the vehicle still.

view full answer... - Lubricant Use on Screw Threads of the Yakima Landing Pad 8 # Y00228
- I totally understand the concern! When it comes to manufacturer's guidelines, it is always recommended to go "by the book." This is because Yakima puts all of their parts like the Landing Pad 8 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y00228 through strenuous physical testing. It is also important to note that not going by the recommendations may void any warranty on the roof rack.
With that being said, you are absolutely correct that Yakima recommends using a non-water soluble lubricant...

- Looking at the installation instructions on the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # C55336, for your 2002 Honda CR-V, it appears that the wiring instructions will be the same for all CR-V vehicles from 2002 through 2006.

- If you look in the owners manual for your 2013 Honda CR-V it will tell you what fuse to pull and where it is located so you can flat tow your CR-V. From what I could find it is the accessory radio fuse that has to be pulled from the interior fuse panel. It is the 4th one from the left in the middle row, # 19. Confirm this with your owners manual.

- No, you will not be able to open the hatch on your 2018 Honda CR-V with the Yakima HangOut 3 Bike Rack # Y02638 attached, even with the bikes unloaded. We do not have a 3 bike trunk rack that fits your 2018 Honda CR-V and would allow you to open your hatch with the rack installed.
If you are needing a rack that allows you to open your hatch, you would want to look at a hitch mounted rack like the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack # TH9043PRO which features a tilting design that allows you to...
