Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Honda CR-V With Naked Roof

Question:

Hi, I have a 2017 Honda CRV with a naked roof. Can you assist with the best option for an easy to install roof rack system or roof bag for carrying camping gear? Thank you

There is a really good option for a roof rack that is not difficult to install and will fit perfectly on your 2017 Honda CR-V with a naked roof, and I highly recommend going with Rhino-Rack. I really like the Rhino-Rack option because not only is it strong, quiet, and durable, it offers a better value because it is more economical than similar brand roof racks while not sacrificing anything in terms of quality.

The parts that make up the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack for your 2017 CR-V with a naked roof are the following:

- Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Silver # RRVA137S-2 or Black # RRVA137B-2
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs # RRRLKVA
- Custom DK Fit Kit # DK284

I have added a photo showing this rack on a similar model year CR-V so you can see how it will look on yours, as well as a link below to a video showing the rack being installed. It is a simple process though that just requires a bit of measuring to ensure you place it in the right spot, and attaching the crossbars, legs, and fit kit together.

The Rhino-Rack will then allow you to carry your camping gear or a rooftop bag like the CargoSmart Rooftop Cargo Bag # CS64FR.
