Will the Yakima FullBack Trunk Bike Racks Fit a 2008 Honda CR-V

Question:

Would the Yakima Fullback 3 bike trunk mounted carrier work well on a 2008 5 door Honda CR-V? There are not many trunk mounted bike racks that fit this make/model.

Yes, the Yakima FullBack # Y02633 will fit your 2008 Honda CR-V. Yakima has the following fit notes for these bike racks and vehicle:

Hub Setting: 4
Outer/lower support frame rests on the lower trunk lip, hatch lid, or rear door.
Do not use rear wiper when carrier is installed.
Yakima trunk mounted racks weight limit for 2 bikes is 60 lbs. / 3 bikes is 90 lbs.
For this vehicle, the upper hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode. See instructions for anchor mode implementation.
For this vehicle, the lower hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode. See instructions for anchor mode implementation.
For this vehicle, the upper and lower hooks must be changed and installed in anchor mode. See instructions for anchor mode implementation.
The headliner on this vehicle may deform or be damaged under prolonged contact with this rack in anchor mode.

If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked a video showing this rack or how the adapter works.
