I have a 2005 honda civic with no roof rack. Will this work with a temporary roof rack? What do you recommend?

We have an '08 KIA Optima with no roof rack and it worked like a charm. The carrier is designed for use with or without a rack.

as long as your Honda Civic has a roof it will work. Make sure you alsobuy the protective pad

My car has no roof rack, and the pack works. It has straps that loop inside the car (basically a loop around the roof, through the door openings).The pack can hold a lot off mass, so I would be wary of a temporary roof rack unless it is attached really well.

Good day, Civics typically have a naked roof with no rails for this to attach to installed at the factory. We recommend using the Buyer's Guide to see what will be required and what is compatible for your application. Thanks!

I am not sure why I am being asked questions about the Honda roof racks. I could not attach them to my vehicle and stated this in my review.

You have to have something to secure the straps to, so I think it does need a roof rack. I'm not sure where else you would tie it down without the rack.

You would definitely want to strap it to a car rack. Otherwise the bottom would scratch up your roof because the underneath is a hard plastic.

Yes. We don't have a roof rack either. Just make sure you buy the rubber mat underlayment.

It fits my 2014 Honda Accord. The racks are extendable for most roof sizes and the different door hooks will fit most doors also, if it doesn't they can be bent enough to grab tightly as I did. I've even used them on my 2007 Civic. They're a great buy.

Hi Cindy< don't know.used it on a honda crv wit roof racks to tie down..you need flat mat to put under neath & tuck in excess because the flaps will be noisy /flappin whn drvng..I ended up tyring all the way around thru window to other side. a little inconvenient in back seat. the clips need to secure to something so check vendors website.. if you need me to tie it down I'll come over(just kidding)

I have it on my 2009 Honda Element - zero issues with antenna or hatch. I have plenty of clearance for both. Not sure on the exact size difference between the CRV & Element, but I think they're pretty similar. The clamps to attach to your roof rack are adjustable - they slide forward & backward to accommodate different roof rack bar spacing. I would think you could slide them farther back on the box to move the box more forward on your car.

It might ours worked with only the side bars no cross bars. Just make sure the roof can handle the weight you choose to put in it.

I am no expert but honestly I don't believe so because it fits just perfect without a roof rack. I don't believe it has room to spare

Hi - I think maybe this one might fit a car better: Rightline Gear 100S10 Sport 1 Car Top Carrier .. We Have a Honda CR-V and got only the slip/protector pad and it worked GREAT. It poured when we camped last year and it was dry inside and never moved on the roof. The weight of your stuff and the pad do the job just fine .. we do not have a roof rack. Oh also we have a sunroof and it was functional so I think the smaller version should work for you without a cargo rack and possibly even if you have a sunroof.

Don't know for sure, but since it is the same body style I would assume the rails would be the same. Look at your rails, there should be two bolt holes front and rear on both rails. The bars bolt into these holes so the roof rack is not adjustable. Hope this helps.John

Should fit without a problem... I have a short roof, but there is a lot of slack in the back because its made to fit the extended roofs as well. I have had for about six months and works great!

I had a body shop install the roof rack. The directions from Honda actually recommend that the install be done by professionals.

yes it does. I've used it for 3 years now with an original honda roof rack and I'm loving it!I though that 'Grab max' is an overkill (the original rack doesn't look that fat), but I'm glad I got it. It fits just right.

You have to have something to secure it to. My Honda Odyssey had two roof rails and it was fine
