The roof rack that I recommend for your 2015 Honda Accord is the Yakima JetStream system as it gives you a completely custom fit for the most secure roof rack due to the adjustments you make in the legs. For your Accord you will need the following parts depending on if you have a 2-Door or 4-Door. I'm pretty sure the Hybrids are all 4-Door but here are the parts for either option just to be sure.

2-Door Accord (weight capacity 165 lbs):

50" JetStream Bars - # Y00425
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
BaseClip it Kit - # Y06148 (comes with 2 for front and rear)

4-Door Accord (weight capacity 125 lbs):

60" JetStream Bars - # Y00426
BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR
BaseClip it Kit - # Y06148 (for front)
BaseClip it Kit - # Y06150 (for rear)

If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend going with the Yakima HighRoad # Y02114 which is a clamp-on style bike rack that allows you to carry just about any style bike out there. You can use the SmarT-Slot Kit # Y02122 to mount this bike rack directly inside the channel of the JetStream bars.

One of the perks of using a roof rack and bike rack from Yakima is the ability to add matching locks to everything. To add the same locks to both the bike and roof rack you can use part # Y07206 so that you only need one key for the entire thing.

I have attached a review video and a picture of this roof rack installed on a 2018 Accord for you to use as a reference.
