dekoldrick says:

If only there were oem roof rails for my 4th gen accord. I have to find an old civic hatch with one in the junk yard and retrofit it to my car.

howtobebasic1 says:

i also installed a roof rack for my moms 02 odyssey and we've used it to carry the christmas tree this christmas

Chris Ormsby says:

Great install, very similar to how it was described to do on our CRV, which I did not do, as not a trained professional, not sure why honda makes it so hard.

rimmersbryggeri says:

Is your shop cold eric? I'm in sweden and I work in t-shirts all through the winter in order not to sweat like a pig. I guess heating up a huge space like that with only one guy working in it would get quite expensive.

Phil P. says:

Justin Blankenship says:

May I ask, what microphone do you use? It’s always very clear and picks up well. Also, of course your videos are great!

Time Table says:

You forgot to leave your window open on the second side for all the junk you blew out to fall into

Time Table says:

A file only cuts in one direction and backwards is not the way

Time Table says:

Make sure you leave you windows open so everything you blow out of the rails falls into your windows

Time Table says:

Eric your getting a belly on you

Phoxtane says:

I'm surprised Honda has you cut the parts like that, it just doesn't seem right for an OEM installation!

krzysiekv12 says:
