Since the crossbars on your 2003 Honda CR-V are 3 inches wide, the Thule Canyon Roof Cargo Basket, # TH859XT, will fit. This basket fits crossbar spreads of 20" to 37". You will need to measure the center to center distance between the crossbars and compare it to this range, however, it sounds like you are in that range from your question. So this basket is a fit for your CR-V.

Adding the extension, # 59505, fits in the center of the basket extending your rack 20 inches. I have included a link to the installation details and a video review for the basket for you to review.
