Hi. I have a 2020 Honda CRV Touring with flush rails. Looking for a roof rack that fits into the mount points on the existing rails instead of ignoring them. Which do?

For your 2020 Honda CR-V Touring that has flush roof rails the Rhino Rack Vortex roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRCL4, and # RRRCP60-BK would be a great option that ties into the fixed mounting points of the vehicle roof.

Another great option is the Thule roof rack part numbers # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3166 which also uses the integrated fixed mounting points.
