Roof Rack for Bike Rack on 2018 Honda Accord Sedan

Question

Question:

I would like a roof bike rack made for a 2018 Honda Accord 4-door sedan. Honda does not have one for this car. I would like to get one that can be permanently attached to my cars roof. Do you have a bike rack for my car and whom do you recommend installing it? TY

We have a way for you to add a bike rack to your 2018 Honda Accord sedan's roof, though there isn't a permanent-mount bike rack or roof rack option for your car. So what you would need to do is install a roof rack which you can use to mount a bike rack.

And for the roof rack, the option I recommend for your '18 Accord sedan is from Rhino-Rack because it is more economical than similar brand roof racks while not sacrificing anything in terms of quality, makes it by far the best value. The parts you need that will fit your Accord are the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # RR36QJ

I have added a photo of a this rack on a similar model year Accord sedan so you can see how it will look when you have it on yours. Then for a bike rack, I really like the Rhino-Rack MountainTrail Rooftop Bike Carrier # RBC035.

The MountainTrail is another great value and I like it because it has an easy-to-use cam-action lever on the skewer so you can release your bike, and because it comes with locks to secure the rack to the crossbars and your bike to the rack, helping protect your investments. Locks are something that have to be purchased separately for many bike racks, which is one of the reasons the MountainTrail is such a good value.

I have added links below to video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like.

According to Rhino Rack, if you were to go with the shorter bars, you'll only have 1-1/4 inch of leeway on each side which isn't enough in their opinion. I'd recommend going with the 71 inch bars so you'll be certain of a good fit. As…
