Canoe Carrier That Will Attach To Factory Roof Rack On 2014 Honda CR-V

Question:

Purchased a 2014 Honda CRV and planned to buy an aftermarket roof rack to transport canoe. Dealer suggestedinch that after market not a good idea so we had them install their factory rack. Just got it back and our canoe is too wide to fit on the rack so its basically useless. What do we need to allow the canoe to fit safely using the current rack?

We do offer some canoe carriers that may work for your 2014 Honda CR-V.

Since you are having issues with the canoe being too wide for your current roof rack, I recommend the Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Carrier System with Tie-Downs, part # S65145. The carrier is designed to hold 1 kayak or 1 canoe hull-side down, and is designed to fit most crossbars up to 2-1/2 inches wide. The minimum crossbar spread to accommodate this system is 24 inches. It also comes with tie-down straps for the front and the rear and also tie-down straps that secure the canoe to the roof rack.
