T-slot channels are integrated into the crossbars of this ladder rack, making it very easy to install a wide array of accessories like kayak carriers...
view full answer... - Are Thule Roof Racks the Same as Factory Roof Racks for a 2012 Honda CR-V
- Most likely the Thule roof rack will have the cross bars in the same location as the factory cross bars since the Thule Roof Rack System for your 2012 Honda CR-V utilizes the factory attachment points for installation.
However, there typically are advantages to going with an aftermarket. Usually aftermarket roof racks are much cheaper than a dealer installed rack, as well as being stronger and easier for roof top accessories to attach to.
If you went with the Thule Aero Blade roof rack...

- I spoke with my contact at Rola about the Rola Sport Series Roof Rack with RB Mounting System, # 59827. He stated that while it is aluminum, it is also black anodized so the system is black like in the first picture. I have included a link to the installation details for this roof rack below.
When using any roof rack, make sure to consult your 2005 BMW X3 owners manual for the weight capacity of the roof. The rack has a capacity of 110 pounds but if the roof can only hold 90 pounds, you...

- The Thule OutBound Roof Bag, part # Th868 Has the same material on the bottom. While it is made to sit on the roof when needed, I would suggest a clean surface, a fresh coat of wax, and a Non-Skid Roof Protection Pad for Rightline Rooftop Cargo Bags, # RL100650.
The only sure way to prevent the possibility of the roof being scratched would be to use a cargo basket or box.

- If a product is made in the USA we identify that by putting Made in the USA under the features of the product, which the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE Bike Rack # HR1400Z does not have.

The rack has cradles which adjust independently along its mast to hold bikes of different sizes, which is why it works for both adult and kids'...

view full answer... - Is the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag a Flexible or Rigid Construction
- The Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB200 is made of a poly canvas tarpaulin which is going to be a flexible material, not a hard rigid surface.
The confusion is likely because the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB200 is designed to be used on a roof platform or roof basket which would be rigid. It is not designed to be used as a stand alone product with just crossbars or nothing on the roof.

- I checked with the manufacturer for you and the Curt RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # E-100 weighs 12 lbs.
This hitch fits 4" x 4" square bumpers and while there is technically not a built-in security measure to keep someone from taking the hitch, it does get torqued down tightly to your bumper as you can see in the linked instructions, so it would be quite a bit of work to take it.
Additionally, if you were using a bike rack such as the Yakima LongHaul 4 Bike RV Rack # TH9057 or...
