Largest Roof Top Cargo Carrier For 2006 Honda Odyssey With Factory Roof Rails And Crossbars
Question:
Good Evening, I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey mini van. It has factory rails and cross bars. Id like to purchase the largest possible roof top cargo carrier that still lets me open the rear lift door without being impeded. Can you give me some guidance? Ive been looking at the Thule and Yakima products and attempting to assess what would work. Any guidance that you could give would be greatly appreciated. Regards,

For your 2006 Honda Odyssey, the measurement from the center of front crossbar to the edge of where the hatch seam will give the front clearance. This is how the Thule and Yakima carriers are determined for fit. I've attached a picture to help.
