Best Way To Carry Cargo on a 2016 Honda Odyssey
Question:
Will this bag possibly work on a 2016 Honda Odyssey that has handicap modifications floor ped and sliding doors on both sides? There is no roof rack on top so we are trying to find a viable option. We are unable to install a hitch due to the modifications, and do not have enough time between now and date of vacation to possibly install roof racks. The tech I spoke with thought this may work....but I want to make sure before purchase.

I would love to help but none of the roof bags for a bare roof will work with a sliding rear door. Therefore, the Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag part # RL100S30 will not fit your 2016 Honda Odyssey unless you first install a roof rack like the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System which consists of part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRQMVA10, part # RRRTV168, and part # RRRLT600.
The next best option which is also more cost effective would be to install a trailer hitch like the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98862 and a cargo basket like the 20 x 59 Curt Cargo Carrier part # C18150 with a cargo bag like the Curt Cargo Bag for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier part # C18211.
I have attached an install video of the trailer hitch for you. In order to make sure there will be no issues with the handicap modifications you will need to take a look at this for yourself and make sure nothing will interfere with what you have now.
