| The 1999-2001 honda odyssey roof top carrier crossbars may be unsafe. the roof rack crossbars sold by honda for this vehicle are not acceptable for use with cargo boxes. this is what many people attach to them. there is no warning on the installation instructions or owners manual warning against use for this purpose. honda admitted the crossbars might not withstand lift forces from the box and the crossbars could separate from the side rails and damage the vehicle or vehicles following it. honda said they would offer no remedy, warning or solutions. some of the major cargo box manufacturers are aware of the crossbars shortcomings and will not warrant their boxes or accept liability for damages caused by the separation of the crossbars, however, this is not always divulged by the salepersons and would most likely not be known if buying a used box. please make honda send a waring to all purchasers of the crossbars and include the warning in their owners manuals, advertising litereature and installation/use instructions. thank you. *ak | |||
