Well built - Installation instructions need work., March 11, 2010
This review is from: 2007 - 2011 Honda CR-V CRV Crossbars - For Roof Rack Luggage Rack
This roof rack is well designed and well built. The installation instructions mention 'front' and 'rear', but fail to mention 'left' and 'right', which turned out to be important. Overall I'm happy with it, and I recommend it. It does stick up into the slip-stream, so expect some wind noise at 40+ mph.

Good product, awful instruction, August 6, 2010
This review is from: 2007 - 2011 Honda CR-V CRV Crossbars - For Roof Rack Luggage Rack
The rack is built well. Although some parts are plastic (namely everything except the actual crossbars), this does not seem to affect the durability. Yet.
The instructions are awful, and need to be re-written. Firstly, there is no mention of the 4 rubber seals that are included in the package. These need to be attached to the bottom of the roof rack before installation on top of the car.
It also does not mention that there are left-hand and right-hand brackets (the actual parts do have a -RH or -LH designation).
The lack of clear directions added about an hour to a job that could easily be completed in 15 minutes.

OEM Quality At Half The Price, December 13, 2010
This review is from: 2007 - 2011 Honda CR-V CRV Crossbars - For Roof Rack Luggage Rack
This rack is 100% identical to the OEM rack that is available from Honda at anywhere from $200 to $300 plus installation. The rack is extremely sturdy and made of metal except for the plastic covers that go over the pods to cover the mounting bolts.
The negative feedback regarding instructions is unwarranted as installation in remarkably easy. Each of the 4 corner mounting pods/towers is clearly marked LH (left drivers side in the US) and RH (passenger side). The front and rear cross bars are also labeled as such with a sticker. However, since the front is wider than the rear cross bar, you cannot install it incorrectly. The cross bars are also shaped such that you can't even install them except correctly - in other words, idiot proof.
The quality of this rack is also an A+. I was skeptical given the price and thought it might contain plastic parts, but that is absolutely not the case - everything is is constructed from thick gauge metal. This rack is as sturdy as the THULE racks which cost much much more for the CRV. BUY THIS RACK, YOU CAN'T GO WRONG AT THIS PRICE.
