You need to pop off the covers at the rear end of the vehicle using a flat head screw driver or similar prying tool. Also helps to unscrew the antenna prior to inserting the crossbars.

The only model that comes with roof rails (the base to which you attach the cross bars) already installed are the CR-V EX-L (Leather) and EX-L Navi. Got leather? You have the side rails. No leather? No side rails. The dealer wanted $850 to install the rails and crossbars on a 2014 CR-V with cloth seats. Amazon is much cheaper, but you will have to attach the side rails to the car yourself or pay a garage or body shop to do it. I just ordered the crossbars to go on my EX-L that already has the rails. Amazon saved me over $500!

It depends on whether you have adjustable cross bars or not. This box have four holes in the front and four holes in the back( not sure how far are they, Amazon listing should provide those details). IF your car cross bars can be adjusted to that position, it is just tightening the U rings. If the rings are small for your cross bars, You can get bigger ones from hardware store. they should not cost much.

We just ran into this as we moved it from one room to another! Yes, we removed the back support rail (four bolts) and turned it on its side and moved in in easily. This was done by my husband and I in our fifties and sixties! Once in the room, we replace the back rail (less than five minutes) and pulled the cover back over. Simple!

Are your cross bars removable? If not, I would call the company and ask their advice. My car did not have cross bars or a roof rack when I used the Sherpak.

I'm sorry Jennifer, i have only bought the roof rack. I don't have the crossbars.

Take the cross pcs. off they slide up and out. then turn the outside rails over and but the cross pcs. back on. Easy way to slide the cross bars is to set something under them that will hold them up about 4 inches then just push down on the sides. I hope this helps.

They are the crossbar's. My LT did not come with crossbars. These fit perfect. You have to unscrew the back 2 sides, then slide the crossbars on evenly. Then screw the long bars back down. Someone on either side have to move the crossbars at the same time. They fit and work perfectly!!

Each crossbar is attached to the feet that clamp onto the frame. When you loosen it to remove it from the car, you're taking off the entire crossbar assembly. There are two crossbars, so two assemblies. Nothing stays on the car when removed. Also, one person can pretty easily remove or reinstall these without assistance. Don't lose the keyed wrench that comes with them.

When I was putting it on the back bar didn't align perfectly. That said, if you put all the bolts in loosely and tighten them you will not have a problem. I wouldn't let this issue stop you from buying the racks, but I was glad I knew about it when I was putting them on. They look so much better than the other general fit crossbars that are out there.

I didn't receive any instructions either. The bars slide in to the four corners like an umbrella. There is a round plastic piece that fits in the center and the bars stick into that also. It was difficult and actually took my daughter and I to do it.

It's the back cover. It's not a job for the inexperienced. I ended up taking my car to a dealer to have them installed by a tech.

Hi Christine - yyyyeah, about that, there are none! I read a bunch of the reviews and kinda figured it out on my own and I'm NOT very handy. Pop the plastic covers off the mounting areas (on the rails that already exist on your CR-V) with a small flathead screwdriver. You can determine where the four crossbar holders/mounts/whatever you wanna call them go by matching how they fit on the rails. Put the rubber strip on the crossbars facing up and the larger of the two crossbars goes in the front. Let me know if you want more info or tips! (austin.hill@mac.com) Good luck!

You just flip the cover on to the bar. It does not attach. Works great very easy to use. The only problem I found is you have to let the cover down slowly. If you just let it drop the weight of the cover will bend the support rods.

You have to buy the add on cross bar for it to work. I bought it and its pretty easy to use.

Car came with roof rack but without cross bars. My guess is that it's a dealer only item and you probably want thenm to install it also.

Hi, if I recall the whole bar plus crosspiece does come off. It came disassembled.
