Will Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier Fit My 2012 Honda CR-V Factory bars

Question:

Hi, Most of the universalinch carriers I have looked at dont fit very well on my 2012 Hondas factory racks. The bar is very wide and flat - say 3inch x 5/8inch - with what I would say is an aerodynamicinch shape. This Rhino-Rack carrier looks a little better - would it fit well, or do you have other suggestions?

Most aftermarket aerodynamic bars are a little over 3 inches wide, so it sounds like the Honda's factory roof rack bars are a bit thinner compared to standard bars at 5/8 of an inch. Since the Rhino Rack Carrier part # S512-S512X uses the U-bolt style attachment with hand knobs to tighten the carrier, it will fit well around your thinner cross bars to carry 2 kayaks.
