Recommend Roof Rack for a Bike and Kayak on a 2018 Honda CR-V
Question:
I purchased a 2018 Honda CRV Touring with factory installed flush roof rails. I am debating between having dealer install OEM cross bards vs purchasing crossbars. I am interested in whatever system is simplest and adatptable to using a cargo bagprefereable or box, bike, and kayak. What is your recommendation?

In order to add a roof rack to your 2018 Honda CR-V I recommend using the Yakima Roof Rack made of parts # Y01156, # Y53TR, # Y03541 and # Y00245. This system has heavy duty yet lightweight aluminum cross bars that are durable and rustproof. This option will also be far more cost effective than an OEM roof rack as I am sure you will come to find out.
If you need a kayak carrier then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier part # RR570. It is side-loading and it comes with all of the the tie-downs you need to secure it. If you need a bike rack I recommend the Thule UpRide Roof Bike Rack - Wheel Mount - Clamp On or Channel Mount - Aluminum
Item # TH599000.
I have attached a list of our cargo box and cargo bag options for you as well.
