No, I'm talking about the Curt roof basket extension (18117 I believe). The Short Roof Extension is supposed to be for 2-door cars like the Civic coupe to use the Thule roof racks. But I plan on being very careful of the length. I plan on leaving it as far forward as I can.

 

Ah, it makes sense now. I just googled the basket and extension. I've installed a few Thule racks on two-doors with the 477 so I'm familiar with it. I thought you were trying to use it to push the rear bar back and I was confused.

 

Oh gotcha. If anything I'd wanna push it a little forward for using the basket. The short roof extension would make sense for that, but I think it's at the perfect spread point for when I haul my kayak to keep it stable.

 

Holy crap it's been a long time. I'll keep the explaining short and get to the good stuff (pics) soon.

Gripes: plastic clips to remove front bumper have softened over time, making them difficult as f*** to remove properly. Also had check engine light on briefly for catalytic converter performance, so may have issues down the road with that.
