Acura Racks

This just in from the tech guys at Thule Racks!

Wondering what Thule fit kits should be used when attaching a Thule 480 Traverse to a 2012 Acura CSX or 2012 Honda Civic 4 Door?

These new 2012 model vehicles have the same frame, same sheet metal, etc as the previous model year range 2006-2011 – but in an attempt to be aesthetically up-to-date Acura/Honda has moved around the ditch molding on the roof (mostly on the Coupe), thus not affecting the fit but altering the measurements.

So…for a 2012 Acura CSX roof rack and 2012 Honda Civic 4-door roof rack you use the same Thule 1425 Fit Kit with the Thule 480 Traverse roof rack system that is used with 2006 -2011 car models but use different measurements (supplied below) / also the 2012 Honda Civic 2-door uses the same 1557 Kit with the 480 Traverse system, same as 2006 – 2011 model years but with different measurements
