Hi all,

Any roof rack recommendations? I have a sub in my car and already takes all my room in the trunk. Also living in an apartment now makes me use my little cart to move lots of packages to the post office so I'm stressing for some extra room. Does anyone have experience using a roof rack on a 10+ gen civic? I am sure much hasn't changed with the frame.

Don't really have a budget since I am not sure what size or quality is best but I don't think I want anything from amazon. Thanks all

I ordered one for my 11th gen ST but fortunately, my friend in the service department that was installing it asked me to come check it out before it was done (Honda accessory). It didn't seat up against roof very well and was just a hot mess. Nothing I've found online from Yakima or Thule yet.

Per another member, the Honda Accessory roof rack for the hatch does not work with the sedan.

I'm also looking for alternatives

Back when I first saw the pdf manuals come thru the shop, I knew this OEM R.C. system would be an issue. The design just doesn't sit well with me. I feel like it could fly off with a simple yank.

I have the Thule rack on my 10th gen hatch sport. I believe Thule has made a new Fit Kit for the '22... which means I can't just use my one from the '17.

Do you put your bikes up there? Did you buy them second hand? I am in need of something to hold my mtb.

I went with the Thule recommended rack for the 23 Si. It fits nicely and doesn’t affect the sunroof or make a ton of noise. I’ll be putting my MTB up this spring.

Also want to chip in to add some documentation for roof racks on these cars as there really aren't many pictures out there yet. I just installed a Yakima rack on mine. There is almost no increase in wind noise, and I have not noticed a negative affect on MPG so far, though I'm sure it must have some impact.

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a rack for their FK8?
If so, which do you prefer, Yakima or Thule? and why?

I used to have a Yakima on my Prelude and would insert paper towel cutouts under the door jam attachments so as to prevent any scratches on paint.

Is there rubber or some preventative coating on the new mounts especially in the door jam attachment areas?

Last year I saw a car that had big suction cups as mounts on their bike rack; no door jam clamp attachment s at all. Anyone see similal?

Will this roof rack fit on a 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback? Or is it different between the Sedan and Hatchback, thanks!
