Revainrating 4 out of 5

2015 Honda CR-V: Luggage Racks and Travel Products

I ordered this for my new car so my labrador collie mix wouldn't spoil my light interior on road trips. This dog is a maniac and licked every surface of my new car. The licking has to stop. Jumping from the back seat to the passenger seat, onto the dashboard and onto your knees needs to stop. Watch out for this barrier. Delivery: All parts were included in the box, along with a bit shaky but readable assembly instructions. The groom complained about the awful instructions, but when I looked at them they seemed pretty good to me, combined with an innate engineering flair that I don't have but the groom sometimes does. Assembly: The groom is installed in the car. This took about 45 minutes. I watched from home because it was hot outside. I support in this way. For some reason he tilted the grate slightly. Maybe out of defiance. I've complained about it, but unfortunately it remains skewed. Durability: The grid appears to be durable. The rods at the base that attach to the trunk floor are questionably sharp and could come in handy for future lobotomies. The side extensions only leave about 2 inches for a mad dog to wade through. Will update the review if this happens. Also warns the Guinness Book of Records. Street noise: The groom's innate technical sense was strong during the installation. He attached rubber grips from the main grille to each side grille. Apparently it helps with the rattling. I gave him points for quick wits and daring. Today I drove the car and the rust didn't so much rattle as growl like a sheep. Very deaf. As a responsible driver, I checked my rear view for sheep and to my dismay there were none. Our Relationship: Will be worked on at a later date, but our couple's overall health and well-being should improve. Maniac Dog: Continues to exhibit manic behavior. Will be updated if this changes. Overall I give this place 4 stars. Decent price, easy installation (for those who don't install) and pretty quiet. UPDATE 1 (4/17): Due to circumstances unrelated to this grid, my fiance and I have called off our wedding. Good point: I've kept a crazy dog. UPDATE 2 (December 17th): After much deliberation, I have decided to sell this grille on my local internet marketplace. The justification refers to the difficulty of dismantling the grating for the transport of bulky objects and reinstalling the grating after transporting the said objects. A friendly civilian responded to my ad, and we met at the gas station. I chose a public place in case she had ulterior motives. I fiddled with the grid for several minutes trying to demonstrate its usefulness and ease of installation. The latter was clearly not true. The civilian could tell. Finally I asked if the civilian was married. She answered yes. I informed her that her husband would probably be able to handle the bars. She immediately paid me my asking price of $15 and I left feeling triumphant. The interior of my car was completely destroyed a week after selling the grill. So here's what. UPDATE 3 (9/18): I spent the summer training a mad dog to drive a CR-V. His desire to drive is satisfied. I've caught up on almost every book on my reading list. This is a win-win situation for the foreseeable future.

Pros
  • Quality build
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
