Roof Box Compatibility with 2019 Honda CRV with Factory Crossbars

Question:

Need to find a roof box that will fit on top of my 2019 Honda CRV. It already has the Honda rails and cross bars installed. The vehicle has a sunroof and power rear door lift.

There are many roof box options that will fit on top of your 2019 Honda CRV. For best fit, there are a couple things to consider. You will need to consider the width of the actual crossbar to ensure the mounts on the box will work, you will need to consider the crossbar spacing to ensure the load can be supported correctly, and then you will also need to consider the rear hatch clearance so you can get into your rear cargo area when the box is installed. I've attached an article to assist.

Next you will look at style preferences and cargo capacity. For instance, the Thule Force XT Rooftop Cargo Box - 16 cu ft - AeroSkin Black # TH6357B requires at least a 23-5/8 inch crossbar spread and 47-1/2 inches of front clearance for the rear hatch measuring from the front crossbar to where the roof and hatch meet.
