Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2021 Honda CR-V
Question:
I do not have a gutter/ or rail to attach the rack to. What do you recommend if I want a roof rack? Thanks

Expert Reply:
A great roof rack setup for the naked roof on your 2021 Honda CR-V includes the following parts:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum # Y00425
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06188
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers - Qty 2 # Y06189
- (optional - for extra security) Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204
The reason why the Yakima setup is because the aerodynamic design of the JetStream bars help control air flow over bars to dramatically reduce wind noise and vibration. The JetStream bars also have built-in top channels that allow you to carry channel-mounted accessories on your roof, which is great for transporting watersport carriers, bikes, and roof cargo boxes/baskets.
