Roof Rack Install Instructions...

Vector1 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-30-2007, 06:52 PM

I just purchased and received my roof rack for my 2007 Ridgeline RTS from HondaPartsDeals.com. The package came in perfect condition and everything is great except the box states right on it "NO INSTRUCTIONS INSIDE". I found a PDF of the installation instructions on the hondacuraworld.com website but they state in the document they are for a 2006 Ridgeline. Does anyone know if these instructions are accurate for the 2007 model? Specifically, the real question I have is the measurements for cutting the roof molding. I don't want to have to go buy replacements.

Same for the 2007 as for the 2006.

I would just put the side rails on and leave the crossbars off until needed. I did this on my Ridge as the wind noise from the crossbars was too much for me.

MikeT,
Thanks for the info. I thought it was the same as the Honda Part Number on my instructions matched the rack.

Is it easy to remove/replace the crossbars once the rack is installed?

Yes, I just removed the front boots and slid the crossbars off.

MikeT,
Thanks again for your help. I'm going to work on installing my new rack tomorrow if my schedule permits. Wish me luck!

Gastrohman,
Thanks I had found these on another site and the install has gone perfectly.

Here's my Ridgeline with the roof rack.
