Put these on my 2022 Ridgeline. Instructions are good and you get almost all the tools you need. The only thing I had to add to the process was a hacksaw to cut the channel strips to fit under the brackets. Very nice and I am glad I got them

I like the fact that you don’t need the side rails on the top of the Vehicle. It fit my 2020 Pilot perfect. Be very careful when tightening the nuts. You can easily strip the bolts and then you will be hosed. Don’t over tighten the bolts either. The trick I used was pressing down on the bars while I tightened the bolts on. Removing the trim strips were a fear of mine as well but if you take your time and maybe check out a few YouTube videos on how to, you should be fine. I broke one of the clamps in the weather strips but it worked fine because the boots of the rack pinch it down also. I think they look great and function well. Definitely not the quality of Yakima or Thule but at the price point, they are great. I am pleased with the purchase. It took me about 90 minutes to find install. The crossbars are 32 inches apart from each other. There is no ability to adjust. But fit my Yakima bullet bin great.

Works well. Used for two kayaks, but only driving local.. don’t know if I’d use these on highways and long trips

For half the price as Honda OEM racks, and with a better look, its a good purchase. There didn't seem to be much choice for my 'naked' roof other than OEM or these BrightLines....read a number of other reviews and figured it was worth the shot. Installation requires a metal hacksaw, not listed in needed equipment, because you've got to make 4 cuts in each of the metal trim pieces that hide the roof bolts. Other than that, installation instructions were accurate and it took about 90 minutes for install...longer than I was anticipating, but not harder, just a lot of little things to do. The provided 'bolt extenders' that screw onto the roof bolts are coated, as a locking mechanism, but it did make screwing them all the way onto the roof bolts a bit challenging....took a lot of torque and I was worried that I'd blow out the roof bolt. In the end, no problems. They're quiet while driving at town and highway speeds and are sturdy. I put a rocket box on the roof easily, and now have ski racks up. Basically doing everything I wanted them to do.

This was somewhat of an "emergency" purchase, as our very expensive Thule mounts seemed to have gone missing just prior to a cross-country road trip. Normally, I'd tend to avoid unknown non-OEM brands, but given our urgency, I really had no choice.As it turns out, these rails performed perfectly and have tuned out to be a regret-free purchase that I'm glad I made! Contrary to some other reviews, I found the length adjustments to be intuitive and not difficult at all. With just minor adjustments, the bars aligned perfectly with the dealer-installed side rails on my wife's 2016 Pilot. At that point, securing them was quick and easy (full disclosure: I did use a ratchet and extension in place of the provided tool), even in the dark, cold and rainy weather.When I first opened the package, my initial thought was that the "silver" color was exceptionally bright and would clash with the silver finish of the car. To my surprise, that was not the case - the difference is actually less noticeable in person than my photos suggest. It's honestly barely noticeable, even when you know you're looking for it.Ultimately, I bought these for a purpose, not for aesthetics; in that sense, they did the job and they did it perfectly. The day after they were installed, we had our 20 cu. ft. carrier attached, loaded to capacity. Our 15-day adventure took us over 7,300 miles through 18 states in just about every weather extreme imaginable. There was not one single issue or concern with these crossbars during the trip, nor have there been since. With the carrier removed, my wife has not noticed any noise or vibration and the bars remain as secure as the day they were installed. I originally intended on removing these when we returned and only using them when we needed the cargo carrier, but my wife actually requested they stay on permanently, as she "likes the look".I feel like I lucked out with this purchase... given more time, I was fully prepared to spend twice the cost (or more) of these on OEM or big-brand crossbars. The quality and performance of the Brightline product have made me glad I didn't make that mistake!
