Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Compatibility with Yakima Skybox for 2017 Honda Civic

Question

Question:

Rhino-Rack for my civic and eying a different brand cargo box Hello, I’ve only started hear about Rhino rack system after I started to search for a roof rack for my 2017 Honda civic, unlike the other two. My question is: if I plan to run the rhino rack on my car, will I be able to attach different brand accessories to it without any other parts or alterations? Currently I am looking into cargo box for the rack and I particularly do not want to run the rhino box, but rather a Yakima skybox. Thanks.

For your 2017 Honda Civic you will have no problem using a Rhino-Rack roof rack with a Yakima Skybox NX like # Y95AV. Roof boxes and roof racks are compatible between manufacturers, and you won't have crossbar spacing issues.

For a specific fit on a 4 door sedan, I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 49" Long # RRVA126B-2, the 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA, and Custom DK Fit Kit # DK453. This system is rated for 165 lb max capacity. If you have the hatchback, then you will need a different fit kit # DK485 and the capacity will max out at 132 lbs.

I've linked the page to the Yakima roof box options to assist. You will want to consider the clearance needed if you have a hatchback, so I've linked an article to assist.
