2012 Honda CR-V OEM Roof Rack Crossbars – Product Review
I got these roof rack crossbars for our new Honda CR-V. I appreciate the ability to order them online for a price that is well below what I would have paid at the dealership. They were delivered promptly, and after soem initial trouble I was able to install them by myself. The only trouble that I had was with the choice of torque torx bit for the installation. The T-30 torx bit that was required does not come standard in most universal torque wrench sets, so I had to make an additional trip to the hardware store in order to get it. Once I had it I was able to install the crossbars by myself, although some help from a spouse or a friends can come in handy. For the most part the latest models oh Honda vehicles make it very convenient to install roof accessories such as these crossbars, but the attachment holes were still a bit awkwardly placed and required soem dexterity for proper screwing in. This awkwardness means that it is not very convenient to put the crossbars on and off more than once.
The crossbars are sturdy and can hold a lot of wight. They are also, IMHO, very elegant and make my CR-V look even sportier. Overall, very satisfied with them so far. Highly recommended.
