Will Thule AirScreen Fairing Fit OEM Roof Rack on 2017 Honda CR-V

Question:

Do you know if the Thule 8702 air screen will fit a 2017 Honda CRV touring with factory flush rails? I measured the distance between the rails at 43.5” and the 8702 is specified at 44”. Also, would the air screen interfere with the moon roof since the location of the front bar is fixed by the factory rails? Thanks

Yes, it is compatible with the OEM roof rack on your 2017 Honda CR-V. Since the overall length of the Thule AirScreen Fairing for Roof Racks # TH82WV is 44" and you measured 43.5" you are good to go as the mounting clamps will sit inside what you measured.

If your front crossbar sits in from of the moon roof then you should be okay. The clamps fit underneath the crossbar though so if your front crossbar is directly above the moonroof when you open it then you may have some fit issues if the space is really tight.
