car top weight, rack in Japan
I've hauled 3 kayaks(500 miles) on top of a temp rack on Civics with no problem. Maybe just be sure the base support is close to the edge.
I also received a reply from a dealer in Aus as they have an accessory rack there. He said....."The roof rack we sell in New Zealand is a rack which is developed here and in Australia.
A roof rack is listed as an accessory from Japan which i recommend that you purchase from your nearest Honda Dealer. If they dont have this on the shelf, they can order it in for you from Japan. There are three components to the roof rack as follows.
1. 08L02-TA1-A00 x1 Cross Bar Holding Set
2. 08L02-SAA-B00x1 Cross Bars
3. 08L15-SAA-000x1 Clip Attachment Set
This rack will now give you the two bars, and you will then need to purchase fitting attachments for whatever you may want to carry.(Ski's, Bike's,Luggage, etc)"
Maybe if Honda US gets tired of ordering from Japan, maybe they'll develop their own. I've bugged Honda central customer service (1-800-999-1009). They are supposedly getting me an answer. Haven't heard yet. Will post if I do.
I also got a reply from a Thule dealer. I think if you go to a dealer, they might be able to find a fit. May try that.
