Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Honda CR-V with Sunroof
Question:
I have a 2012 Honda CR-V with a sunroof. The placement of the aftermarket rhino rack vortex crossbars on a naked roof confuse me, especially with adding a fairing. If I go off the directions for placement, the fairing would sit right on top of the glass of the sunroof. Thanks for any help on this matter in advance.

Expert Reply:
The only way I can recommend you install the Rhino Rack Roof Rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA137B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK284 is to follow the install instructions and use the recommended crossbar spacing dimensions. Your best option may be to only use the fairing when you have the sunroof closed and then remove it if you plan to open it.
