Can 49" Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Be Used on a 2020 Honda CR-V

Question:

Im looking at buying the Rhino Rack RRVA137B-2, RRRLKVA, DK284 for my 2020 CRV. Would the 49inch cross bar work instead of the 54inch for a more flush look?

Hey Casey, thanks for reaching out!

Rhino-Rack is pretty specific with their roof rack systems and since the slots on the underside of the crossbars has limited spacing there are rarely multiple crossbar fits for any specific vehicle. If you check out the linked installation video of this kit on a 2020 Honda CR-V there isn't a whole lot of crossbar overhang so I don't see using 5" smaller crossbars to be an option. You'll want to stick with the initial kit you were looing at:

- 54" Vortex Crossbars # RRVA137B-2
- 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Fit Kit # DK284
