Customer install photo of a roof bike rack for 2000 Honda Civic 2 Door using the Yakima Q Tower car rack system (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q69 and Q70 Q Clips, Yakima 48" Cross Bars) with the Yakima Q Stretch Kit and Yakima 44" Large Fairing. Bike Trays are the Yakima HighRoller upright style bike rack and the Yakima Steelhead fork mounted bike tray.
2 door vehicles with naked roofs, like this 2000 Honda Civic, often require the use of a stretch kit to increase the cross bar spread to at least a minimum of 24″ which is just enough to safely carry most gear (canoes excluded). This 2000 Honda Civic 2-door bike rack system is using the Yakima Q-Tower roof rack system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q69 Q clips and Yakima Q70 Q Clips, and Yakima 48″ Cross Bars) with the Yakima Q-Stretch kit and can easily transport two bicycles. One bike carrier is the Yakima HighRoller bike rack, which doesn’t require the removal of the front wheel. The other bike tray is the Yakima SteelHead bike rack, a fork mounted bike tray, which does require the removal of the front wheel. To keep things nice and quiet up there, we have the Yakima 44″ Large Fairing-Wind Deflector. A Yakima SKS 6 pack of locks keeps everything nice and secure from theft.

Photo of a kayak roof rack on a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan using the Yakima Q Tower Roof Rack System (includes Yakima Q Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q31 clips and pair of 58 inch cross bars). Attached to the base rack cross bars is the Yakima BowDown folding j-cradle kayak rack and 50 inch Yakima Fairing.
This 2006 Honda Civic kayak roof rack system is totally decked out with a Yakima Q Tower Complete Roof Rack System and Yakima BowDown J-Cradle Style Folding Kayak Rack for carrying a kayak on the roof top. The Yakima Q Towers roof rack for a 2006 Honda Civic requires the use of Yakima Q99 Q Clips and Yakima Q31 Q clips. Yakima 58″ load bars are called for to meet the width requirements of the 2006 Honda Civic sedan rooftop when carrying a kayak. A 6 pack of Yakima locks and lock cores secure the rack system and kayak rack onto the 2006 Honda Civic Sedan (4 locks to lock the Yakima Q tower system to the car rooftop and 2 locks to secure the Yakima BowDown Folding J-Cradle to the roof top car rack system). The Yakima 50″ Fairing is used to cut down on noise created by wind and also helps preserve gas mileage that might be lost when transporting a kayak on top of a 2006 Honda Civic Sedan.

Great sun-soaked photo of a 2009 Honda Civic bike roof rack system with the Yakima Q-Tower car rack system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58" crossbars) finished off with the Yakima 50" Fairing and the Yakima High Roller bike rack.
Here’s a mighty swell photograph of a 2009 Honda Civic roof rack bike carrier system decked out with the Yakima Q-Towers car rack multi-purpose base system (includes Yakima Q-Towers, Yakima Q99 clips and Yakima Q131 clips, and Yakima 58″ crossbars). Mounted upon the base rack cross bars is the Yakima High Roller upright mount bike carrier working hard to carry a BMX bike with 20″ wheels. One of the great things about the Yakima High Roller bike rack is its ability to carry any bike, regardless of wheel size, frame configuration, brake set up, and tire width. Heck, if your bike has two wheels, the High Roller will carry it. Rounding out this Yakima roof top bike rack set up is the Yakima 50″ wind fairing to quiet that confounded wind noise and a set of Yakma SKS 6 pack of locks to keep any pilferin’ hoodlums at bay.

Q: I’ve been looking around online but haven’t had any luck yet in locating a compatible 2010 Honda Crosstour roof rack. Does a car rack for the 2010 Honda CrossTour exist?
A: If your 2010 Honda CrossTour came with the optional factory rack with cross rails option then you can mount most Thule and Yakima gear carriers directly to the Honda CrossTour roof rack cross bars. However if there is nothing on the roof top currently, you’ll need to install the Thule or Yakima 42” or 54” Tracks onto the Honda CrossTour roof top. If mounting the Yakima Tracks, you can then connect the Yakima Control Towers car rack system to the Tracks (choose the Yakima LP1 Landing Pads, you will need two pairs of these, for mounting the Control Towers to the Tracks). You can then attach any Yakima gear carriers directly to the Control Tower cross bars. Similarly you can use the Thule Tracks and the Thule 430 Tracker II car rack system (choose the set of four Thule TK1 Tracker Kits for connecting the 430 Tracker II to the Tracks. This Thule Racks solution is very similar to the Yakima Racks system outlined above. Remember, however, if your 2010 Honda CrossTour came with the option factory rack and cross rails then you can attach most Yakima and Thule gear carriers to the Honda CrossTour roof rack.

Thule 480 Traverse car rack review by 'Derek'. He is using the 480 Traverse system as a 2005 Honda Accord roof rack. The Thule 835Pro Hull-a-Port is then attached to the 480 Traverse cross rails.
Overall Rating: 5 Stars (out of 5)
Configuration: 2005 Honda Accord roof rack for carrying a kayak
“Installing the Thule 480 Traverse roof rack system was a snap! I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to do it by myself, but I was very pleased with how easily it all went together. I also use the Thule Hull-a-port Pro for carrying my kayak, and I am very pleased with how stable everything is! I never have to worry about transporting my kayak again.”

Standing beside this awesome Honda Pilot roof rack setup for carrying skis and a bike are Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep, and Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager.
Lucky us for a recent visit from Mr. Reeder, Yakima Racks Sales Rep. A great day was had by all at ORS Racks Direct, as we spent the day discussing all things concerning Yakima Racks… exciting new products are now available for 2010, including the Yakima FrontLoader bike rack, Yakima SpareTime spare tire mount bike rack, Yakima EvenKeel kayak rack etc. Of course, before Steve had a chance to jump back in his car and head back home, we were able to capture yet another poor quality image (due to using a Blackberry camera and foggy weather) of his sweet Honda Pilot roof rack for carrying skis and a bike. The Yakima RailGrab roof rack is mounted to the Honda Pilot factory side rails and the Yakima SkyBox LoPro ski box and Yakima SprocketRocket bike rack are attached to the RailGrab cross bars. Pictured along with Mr. Reeder is Shawn, ORS Racks Direct Operations Manager, obviously involved in high-level rack science discussions.

Thule 883 Glide and Set Kayak Rack and Thule 835 Hullaport Kayak Rack atttached directly to Honda Civic Factory Rack.
Sure the Honda Civic is a smaller car, but this person has no problem carrying two kayaks directly on the factory bars. On the left is the Thule 883 Glide and Set kayak saddles and on the right is the Thule 835 Hullaport J-style kayak cradles. Also worthy of note is the receiver hitch which allows for installation of a Thule bike hitch rack for rear mounted bicycle transport. This is truly the handy work of a bonafide rack-it scientist.
