Will Thule Sidekick Fit Roof Rack Installed on 2009 Honda CR-V
Question:
I am looking to purchase a Thule box for my 2009 CRV. I just had Thule roof rack installed by Honda and they told me to make sure the connector are round to fit the round cross bars. Im unable to access the photo. Will the Sidekick box work n these bars?

Expert Reply:
I did receive your picture and I confirmed with Thule that it is not a Thule roof rack that's been installed on your 2009 Honda CR-V. However, the Thule Sidekick # TH78GC may still work for you.
To find out for sure you can measure the crossbars. As long as they are no more than 3-3/4 inches wide the Sidekick will fit. It's designed for aero shaped bars like you have.
Another good measurement to take is from the center of the front crossbar back to the antenna. You'll need at least 51-7/8 inches for the antenna to not interfere with the Sidekick.
