Questions & Answers

Hello, I'm looking to purchase this (surco hn100) and the (surco (ub53)) to install on my 2004 Honda Element. What is the setup's maximum weight capacity?

These were purchased a few years ago. They are constructed of thick, heavy steel. I transport two 60-pound kayaks (a total of 120 pounds), so make sure the screws are locked tight.

What are the functions of these? Do they connect to the factory holes in the roof rails so that a rack can be attached? It would be fantastic if you could include a photograph. ?

They do, in fact, fit into the factory holes. on top of your roof rack My Honda Element has them. I purchased cross bars that run from one foot to the other. This is how they're referred to. Only 80 pounds are allowed on the factory roof rack. Each of my kayaks weighs in at 60 pounds. To keep the leaves and dirt out, cut slots in the factory covers with a Dremel. Mount the feet, then push the cover up to it and mark the length you'll need for the hole. Finally, place the cover in front of the foot to get the hole's center. Dremel with a cutting bit is the way to go.

I'd like to know what these mounts' dimensions are. ?

What size are you looking for? Take a look at the mounting holes on your roof. This is the starting point for the measurement. The top is 3" higher than the base on all sides.

Can these be used as side bars rather than cross bars?

These aren't crossbar adapters; they're crossbar adapters. They are unable to provide adequate support on their own.

Selected User Reviews For Surco HN100 Roof Rack Adapter for Honda

For an Element, the Best Roof Rack Brackets I purchased a used Element and needed to outfit it for outdoor adventures
5/5

Roof rack for kayaks and gear was a must, so I looked into all of my options, including the factory Honda rack, but ultimately chose Surco, which has much wider crossbars than OEM. Furthermore, these brackets are more than capable of withstanding the abuse I'll be dishing out. Despite the negative feedback I've seen here and elsewhere, I feel compelled to award these five stars. When putting together a custom rack, buying a few bolts or slightly modifying the crossbars is standard procedure. br>br> One of the reasons I chose Surco for an Element rack is that I've had their 84" safari rack on my 01 Excursion for six years and it's been bulletproof!.

Bolts that are weak
4/5

The bolts that come with the kit are GARBAGE! I snapped the head off one and used a screw driver to tighten it by hand. Also, whoever decided that using bolts with a Philips head was a good idea should be shot. br>br>While the mounts are excellent, I strongly advise purchasing grade 5 or higher hex head bolts from your local parts store. I don't want my $4000 bike to fly off the roof as a result of a faulty bolt.

There are no instructions, but the mounts are sturdy
4/5

Mounts that are extremely powerful. Only two screws per mount in the box, despite the fact that the mount has three holes and the car has three tapped holes. Let's face it, adding four more screws and washers wouldn't be difficult. The aluminum pieces that go into the crossbars were too big. To get it to fit, I had to take a file to them and remove about 1/16" of material. Prepare to get creative and grind if you want to modify the caps to work with these mounts. Mounts are good, but they're a pain to put together.

On a Honda element, it's been used
5/5

The crossbar lugs on the thule areo bar were too big. Instead, I opted for thick washers. Dremel was used to cut slots in the cover plugs, making them slightly larger so they would slide on more easily. It leaves a large hole for leaves and other debris to collect if coverplugs are not used. Making holes for anchor points for the rachet straps, I used three titanium drill bits. Carbamate bits should be used. The anchor points for rachet straps at Home Depot were very nice.

Adapters for the Honda CRV
5/5

The adapters fit perfectly, but I had to use my own bolts because the ones that came with the bracket were too long. I have a 2006 Honda CRV.
