Does Yakima Roof Rack for 2017 Honda CR-V Have Speed Rating  

Question:

I plan on installing a Tar Heel screwdriver type antenna to the back crossbar of the roof rack. What wind speed will the cross bar tolerate. The antenna base is about 24inch high with the whip about 30inch additional inches. You may not know what a Tar Heel antenna is.

The roof racks we offer for your 2017 Honda CR-V like the Yakima part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00245 which give you an aero shaped bar do not have a max speed rating but as long as you are below or near the speed limit you are going to be fine. I'd imagine you'd have bigger issues at whatever speed is too much for this roof rack long before the rack itself would become an issue.

I looked pictures of tarheel antennas and they are pretty big. I am not sure that a roof rack would be the best place to install one as it's going to add quite a bit of height to the vehicle. If there was a way to mount it on the rear bumper that would be a better place.
