Hi, I am Danny with etrailer and today we're gonna take a look at and I'm gonna show you how to install the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar on our 2023 Honda HR-V. Getting roof rack for your Honda is a great idea because it's going to allow you to use a ton of different accessories on the top of your vehicle, like maybe a cargo carrier for a long trip or a bike rack or kayak rack. Now if you decide to get these for your Honda, please let us know and review or comment how you we inchesre liking 'em and what you're using 'em for. So we have three main components here. So we're gonna have the crossbar followed by the tower and then we're gonna have this rubber pad and bracket and that's gonna be part of your fit kit. You will need all three of these components for this to work on your vehicle.

As far as getting your accessory in the crossbar here, it's very simple, you just rotate this end cap here and it reveals your T slot. Now this does have weather stripping built in and on some other roof racks we have, you have to actually cut your weather stripping. And this one allows you to put many different accessories on and still have your weather stripping. You have a lot of room between the top of the vehicle and the top of the crossbar. So clamp on accessories will work with this as well.

These crossbars are 53 inches long and they do stick out a little bit from the vehicle. Both of these are about three to three and a half inches outside of the tower. Now that is important for some accessories like kayak carriers and roof boxes 'cause you want those to be closer to your vehicle for easy access. As far as looks go, these do look pretty good for a naked style roof rack. They do have these brackets that go down on your door trim here, but that's pretty unavoidable with the naked style.

Now with the rubber padding, you can see that there is a little bit of a gapping, but it's mostly flush. And if I just shake this around, you can see it is not gonna go anywhere. Now these towers do come with a cover and you can lock them on this side and now they won't come off and you can use a coin or a screwdriver or anything that you can put in that slot. Now you can upgrade these to a metal core and those will come with a set of keys. I'll go ahead and give you a couple measurements you may need to know.

So from the top of your Honda here to the bottom of your rail is gonna be about three inches. So that's good enough space to put a clamping accessory on. Now the next measurement is from the top to the top of the crossbar here, which is roughly around four inches. So that's good to know if you put a cargo box up here or a different accessory, you can add that to this height and you should know if you're gonna be able to safely go in and out of a garage. All in all, I really like the look of this roof rack on this Honda and if I had these myself, I would keep them on just because it is a little tricky to take 'em on and off. If you're looking to install these yourself, then follow along and I'll show you how to do it. I went ahead and installed the front crossbar and towers on the vehicle and I'll go ahead and show you how to do the rear here. So you're gonna want to get the part that comes in your fit kit, your rubber pad and the bracket. And first we're gonna put this bracket in the tower and should hear a click and that's not gonna come out so we know that's good. And then your rubber pad's gonna have a tab on that back of it here. And so I'm gonna just line that up with the tab on the tower, kind of fold it back over and then press make sure the rubber's all around that. Now keep in mind that all these parts are side specific, so we'll tell you in the instructions they are all numbered as well as these brackets. So you're gonna wanna put these on the corresponding side. Next, I'm gonna take the end cap off our crossbar here. Just push down on that tab, wiggle it till it comes out, and it gives you a ruler in these crossbars and you can actually set this to the specs in the instructions. So this rear one is gonna be 40-1/2" and the front one we set to 43", but those are on the instructions, so that's nice. I put my tower on, it'll butt up against that. So for my tower, there's these two gray tabs that you can push in and that will actually push out on the top part of the tower, which will allow you to slide this in where you
