Yakima Roof Rack with Civic 2004 EX Sunroof?

[Jon Kyle Pula]

Does anyone have any experience with a yakima roof rack on a
'04 Civic with a sunroof?

I've read that a stretch kit is needed to allow the sunroof
to open correctly with the rack on. Is this true?

We'll only be hauling bikes.

Thanks, Kyle

Not to sound terse, but email Yakima customer service.
They'll get back to you in 2-3 hours, and no one would know
more about it.

Look, I even found you the addy: [email protected]

Hope it works. FWIW, I've never set up a Yakima rack that
didn't have over 2 inches between roof and rail. I've prob
installed 30-40.

Is the EX the coupe model in the US?

I have the coupe here in Canada with the sunroof, Honda here
calls it the SI here. I went with stretch kit as recommended
by Yakima. I have plenty of room for the sunroof to open. I
can see where the crossbar may interfere with the operation
of the sunroof without the stretch kit.
