Has anyone installed an X4S or even an X2 on their Ridgeline? I just picked up my truck and was excited to install my X4S and it appears that they may have sent me the wrong kit. The clamps have no where to clamp and the locking device interferes with the back tailgate side. Looking for someone that has either an X2 or X4S that is willing to chat or share pics. Thank you!

I installed the X4s first thing on my 22. What do you want pics of?

when I installed mine, the latch was too far to the rear and couldn't latch and also came into contact with the tailgate. the instructions said to slide the rolled cover so that the weather strip is flush with the side rails. I moved the rolled cover so that the metal frame was flush with the side rails, (near the cab) and everything worked perfect. it looks a little off to have the weather strip against the back window at a slight angle but seems ok. I get a little water in the front and rear corners, but I'm not too concerned about it. one question I have is should one use the thin or thick foam near the cab. I used the thick foam and it seem to hold the cover up a little, would the thin foam be better?
Did you have any issues with the bolts up front and them being too long for the black knob for tightening down? I thought I saw a picture when you were installing?
The bolt length was ok, but they were so hard to turn (self-locking) I had to use pliers to turn them.
Hi @securityguy re "The clamps have no where to clamp and the locking device interferes with the back tailgate side" how did you solve for that? Just received my X4S (for 2020 RTL-E) but nothing to clamp to that I can tell. The Bak installation "supplement" online refers to Honda Ridgeline Accessory Rails, but I can't find these for sale from Bak or anywhere else (and frankly a little disappointed that if they're necessary Bak wouldn't include or at least specify they're needed when purchasing the X4S). Appreciate the help!
@securityguy or anyone else — can you confirm my x4s should have come with 4 metal rails? I only received 2 metal rails that are for the top of the truck bed - no universal rails to mount on the inside. I’m attaching a photo of the box label.
I emailed Auto Anything since that is where I bought it, but I am well outside their 30 day policy so I am not getting much help on that front. I am going to contact Bak directly as well, but just hoped someone here could confirm I should have received 2 additional rails,..

Hey, thanks for the reply - I shredded the box just to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Bak is sending me rails, and they were really great to deal with. So hopefully we get one more good weekend for weather and I can get it done before winter!
