165 Lbs Roof Rack Side Rails for Honda Pilot 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Silver Roof Rails

I had to buy the special nuts from Honda. 8 x the 8mm and 6 x the 6mm, which ended up costing $80 with S&H, which made this basically a $400 purchase. Not the great savings that it would have been if it came with the right fasteners. Something else to note, the plastic molding (roof rail), only allows the fasteners to be screwed down maybe a quarter of the distance on the bolt on the car… I can only assume with the Honda OEM rack the nuts sit lower in the slot and more of it can grab the roof bolts. I slowly tightened everything and not extremely tight as I was concerned it would shear off the threads. I used loktite in the hopes this prevents anything coming loose. Guess time will tell.Other than that it seems decent when in place. The cross rails fit well, other than having to enlarge some of the plastic holes because they don’t align between the end caps and the screw holes in the rail.—– 19 July Update —-So while throwing out all the cardboard packaging I found the set of sleeve nuts and washers. So my complaint about having to buy the parts from Honda was due to my own fault. The sleeve nuts (8mm at least) are slighly longer than the Honda parts so it gets a good grip when you tighten them down. I still caution against over tightening, but you won’t hvae any concerns about them coming lose. I would still suggest some loctite type product. I didn’t give 5/5 as the issues with the cross bars still exists, where I had to slightly enlarge the holes so there was some play to get them to line up on both sides.
