Will I be able to open the trunk fully with the cover rails installed on my honda ridge line 2013?

no....the trunk will open to about 45 degrees. I haven't found this to be a big problem since the trunk is fairly deep. I have not had any problems loading and unloading gear.

With the cover still over the bed pulled tight, you can open the trunk about 75%-85%. Far enough to access it with groceries, duffle bags, suitcases, etc. With the cover open or partially open, you can open it fully. The only small intrusion I have had is the right side of the trunk does scrape on the bolt that anchors the right rear side rail. It scratches the outer edge of the trunk lid, but it is completely cosmetic (the Ridgeline bed liner is easily scratched by anything). I have had a 1-2 gallon improvement in gas mileage since I installed it.

I have a GMC Envoy. I have to pull the pin at the bottom to drop the bikes down to get the hatch opened. I can open the glass window without moving the bikes. If you have a car, the trunk should open without interference from the rack.

I have a pick-up and can almost let tail gate down. The rack does stick out and I really think that any trunk can be opened.

OK You see how there are (6) straps? Those ones that go near the taillights are going to fall out. I wouldn't chance it. Remember it's just tension and weight holding everything secure. The rack works. I still use mine to this day. I just wouldn't open the trunk with it on. At least they do on my Toyota Yaris. It may very well be cause of the design too.

The crossbars came with everything you'll need to install onto the van's rails (except for the instructions, which I think was an oversight). But no worries, I downloaded the instructions separately from Honda's website. Hope this helps.

Yesit is a perfect fit. It came with all the necessary hardware. If you are handy and have the right tools it should only take 1 hour to install. I have it on my son's 2007 Ridgeline for over a year with no problems. I also recommend for you to treat it with a tonneau cover cleaner/sealant.

I have a 2013 ex and it fits pretty good. There still is about a half inch to an inch gap, but it does not bother me. I will warn you however that it is a little bit flimsy, so if you are looking for something rigid this is not your item. But i will say i like it and it gives me solace to know that my trunk's carpet will be protected

The bolt-on rack just attaches to the spare tire & mount, so you should still be able to do everything that you could normally do without taking off the spare tire. The Hollywood racks that attach to the trunk will also allow you to open the trunk with the rack on, unless you have to attach the bottom straps to the bumper for some reason.

I have a RAV4 with an external tire and it fits just fine with room to spare. The only issue I run into is that I cannot open the rear door more than about a third of the way, even with the rack tilted down.

It is the complete cross rail system with rails and crossbars. Very cheaply made and doesn't fit well without modifications. I recommend using Honda original roof rack system!!!

Yes these feature is available. You should also have factory trunk release feature , if not additional parts will be required.

Yes. The clamps you see are simply a great system for holding the cover end in place and for easily releasing it to role up out of the way. I installed one of these recently on my Honda Ridgeline and it is very well made and the looks are top notch! Holding up great this winter in all weather up here in Wa State.

After staring at it for a few months took mine to an installer and for $125 they had it in and working beautifully that morning. The seal is fine and it's been nice to have more usable space, especially during a storm. So it can be done. On mine, once installed it slightly interfered with opening the trunk in the pickup bed, but not enough to restrict anything I've wanted to do with it.

Sorry have to ask a question . Is there a gap between the spoiler and trunk? If there is the rack should work.

I put these rails on my 2015 Honda Pilot with no problem. You can find youtube videos which show how to do it.

I bought these for my 2013 ram express. Came with full rails. The style that is somewhat flat (not completely round) but it does fit. The flap just barely touches the rail on the front. Have had them on for several months now with no issues. Only used 2 out of 3 screws too. Didn't want to drill into the frame.

The Allen Sports bike rack will work on any trunk with a slightly raised spoiler. I drive a Toyota Solara that has a raised trim like spoiler and the bike rack works great. However, if your car has a large pronounced rack, I wouldn't recommend it.
