Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I have these same rails coming and I had no idea how to install them. I actually have the exact same car that you do color and everything. The black looks really good on the rails!
Your video sound cut off right when you were explaining where to cut off the black trim. I have same car as yours and considering getting the rails and cross bars, but would like to know the measurement. Appreciate it!
Just finished the installation. Thanks to Erick for this video because the instructions in the kit, though usable could be better. The video is the ticket. First, the quality of the rails and cross bars is very good. As he says, the gaskets are not great, in my opinion just ok. Could water get into the channel. Possibly, but I am not going to worry about that. I bought a cheap trim removal kit from amazon...the least expensive, ( 6 bucks, or so)..didn't have to really use my fingers to pry. I popped off the rails in a minute. I had a yard sale Dremel, picked up the cheap diamond cut off wheels from harbor freight. Cutting off the trim went smoothly. (Be careful!- do not kink the trim that your not cutting, I did put a small kink in the good trim) everything bolted up nicely. The last complaint are those plastic cover plates for the cross bars. They suck..the bar end's must be perfectly square to snap on and that was impossible as the bars have to be adjusted to the rails to sit square...but, no big deal, you don't need them. I did get mine on but most likely they will fall off in the future.
Awesome work. You will love that crossbar, its really a helpful upgrade especially for outdoor activity. Love the crossbars on my truck, could buy anything as long as its as long as my truck
It looks like it's not a water tight connection where the part connects to the metal cross bar. How does the water drain out that gets inside the rails during rain or washing? Have you noticed any rusting?
Awesome video! I watched this like 5 times before installing my (amazon purchased) rails on a 2018 CR-V EX. Perfect explanation and my install went just as smoothly! I used a oscillating tool to cut the old channel covers off which made that part way easy. The seals were a little shoddy too - the inside ones laid flat but the outer ones went into channel. I had dirt and whatever in the channels so those original covers don't really keep to much out anyway. Since its painted, I'm not worried - can probably just remove the rails every year or 2 and check for crud/debris (I'm in Canada so more rust potential). It seems bombproof solid once torqued down. Only difference was I used Rhino Rack cross bars. Thanks Erick! @Tim Piper, those star shaped plastic caps can be removed using a torx (T5?) or just pried out. They're plastic and disposable. @David Soh, 26.5" bar to bar
Nice I’m waiting for my 2022 Honda CRV EX gray with gray interior cloth seats . Thank you for the video I have an ideas how to install the rails. The dealer wanted 1000k for the rails and the crossbar I said no. And thank you for giving me an ideas in how to put the dash camera 🎥. I’m really looking forward for the car. I did not like the design LMF the 2023 CRV almost looks like the RAV4 specially the front. Please post more videos of any accessories that you might put on your CRV.
Fantastic video! We wanted to put up a roof rack on our 2018 CRV (which is essentially the same as a 2020) but thought it was a difficult process. I know it's only a month, but how is it holding up? Thanks
The similar sized Thule AeroBlades are 33 3/4” across. You might be able to get more with an aftermarket model. That said the roof itself is only rated for 165 lbs. That’s not much for a roof tent. CRV Owners Club discussed this and tried to dissuade anyone looking to do that.
Hi I'm planning to buy silver colour bar and rails for for my honda CR-V 2020 re can you recommend me any brand I'm meant good quality I'm living in Spain please give me any advice
Hey nice video. Your eBay link is broken. Was this the Honda genuine part or aftermarket? The aftermarket are 1/3 the price of Honda so I’m debating getting those instead, but worried about quality. How is yours holding up? Does it get a lot of use?
Hi Erick, great video. Can you kindly send me the link of the seller you bought your roof rail and rack from? I am planninh to buy one. Would you recommend that seller? Thnx
These after market sets seem to be the only sensible way to go. Not going to pay 1k at Honda, for a rack. The only concern is how good are the seals? If the seals are good then this is the answer.

Your video helped me to Install roof rack rails and cross bars on my 2019 CRV, thankyou
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. I have these same rails coming and I had no idea how to install them. I actually have the exact same car that you do color and everything. The black looks really good on the rails!
Fantastic! Just bought a 2021 CRV, and was wondering how to install roof racks. Thanks for passing along your knowledge!
Is it really fit with 2021 crv ??

Just got my 2022 exact crv and going to put this on mine as well..ty for the video
Thank you for the video it really helped my husband
Thank you, mate. This video helped me a lot!
Thank you Erick!
I own the same suv but mine is sport edition and the same colour. Do more videos on it. Good job.
Great Video!! Thanks for the help.
Hey bud, I scrolled through the first five results for CRV rails and racks and they all sucked compared to yours. Thank you!!!
From 3:35 - 4:30 the sound cut out and I feel like I'm missing some info you're giving on why you need to cut the trim piece?
It looks like it's not a water tight connection where the part connects to the metal cross bar. How does the water drain out that gets inside the rails during rain or washing? Have you noticed any rusting?
Nice job thanks

Hi Eric, can you share the one you bought from Amazon? How does it work so far? I also want to install on my CRV. Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you think a pvc pipe cutter would work to trim the existing molding?
Good video.

i wish the bar is longer.. i have 2 kayaks to haul
Thanks so much men
It's actually a drainage route it's supposed to be like this
what do you put down to protect the roof if you place luggage up there?
How far do you cut on the original trim?
How'd it hold up after 3 years?
Any updates on the roof rack yet? I am considering buying this for my 2019 Honda CRV. Thanks!
Does this work with other models ebay says otherwise (I have the 20 lx)
Mute at important part?
How is the bar holding up?
May I know what is the distance between the crossbars? Planning to mount a roof top tent on it. Thanks.

hey bro! nice video but i have question about your phone tripoD, i would like get something like yours can u link me the brand info. THANKS
How do you know where exactly to cut
Hi I'm planning to buy silver colour bar and rails for for my honda CR-V 2020 re can you recommend me any brand I'm meant good quality I'm living in Spain please give me any advice
how did you remove the star shaped screw caps? Just a small philips head?
no its a star bit for drills and can attach to ratchet screwdriver. a reg phillips will damage the threads
What model # for the roof rails and cross bars
Hey nice video. Your eBay link is broken. Was this the Honda genuine part or aftermarket? The aftermarket are 1/3 the price of Honda so I’m debating getting those instead, but worried about quality. How is yours holding up? Does it get a lot of use?
It is fit for cr v 2024 too
Can you or someone send me the link for the exact item(s). Wanting to purchase the same and install. Please and thank you
Hi Erick, great video. Can you kindly send me the link of the seller you bought your roof rail and rack from? I am planninh to buy one. Would you recommend that seller? Thnx
How is it working so far? Any complains?
Is it fit with 2021 crv too ?
dont know if you're aware by now the video went mute after 3.25 minutes .good video though.thanks
The link isnt working anymore, whats the name?
Thanks I appreciate the info it answered many questions? What brand are the side rails and cross bars?
Based on the link he posted, it appears to be a super generic no-name brand. Still debating on buying myself.
@@PadillaD thanks. Still thinking about it too
@@PadillaD after reading on CRV Owners Club, I’m about to get the Kingcher brand off Amazon. I’ve heard some good things about those.
dembo rails by shabba brand

yeah when i called in and they told me $900-1k i was like i can put that towards another car. after market sets is a better option
@@smashram4817 I ordered one from E-Bay..will see how it goes.
Great video accessories part number please
Because it's not a factory option... There seems to be a safety problem
Some guy wants to charge $1000 for installation
