Easy DIY Roof Rack Install on Tesla Model Y: Hono Kit Review & 20% Off Promo
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! Just picked up my Tesla Model Y from Hono's install shop in Santa Ana, Orange County, CA, and I'm stoked about this roof rack kit. If you're looking to add some serious utility to your Model Y without breaking the bank, this is the one to get. It's cheaper than the OEM version, super easy to install, and comes with thoughtful features to protect your ride.
Why Choose the Hono Roof Rack Kit?
I watched the pros install it, and honestly, it's so straightforward I could do it myself next time. Here's what sets it apart:
- Rubber seals to prevent any risk of cracking the glass roof.
- Secure nuts and caps for a tight, worry-free fit.
- Silicone paint protectors – unlike the OEM, which just uses stickers.
- Lockable with included keys for security.
- Versatile for extra storage, roof boxes, or bikes.
It's a 45-minute to 1-hour DIY job, and fully removable if you don't need it all the time.
Step-by-Step Install Guide
Everything you need is in the box: two crossbars, four brackets, silicone adapters, bolts, covers, and keys. Here's how it goes down:
- Prep the roof: Align the clamps on the roof rails.
- Add silicone adapters: These protect your paint from scratches.
- Mount the bars: Slide the crossbars into place.
- Tighten the bolts: Be careful – snug but not too tight to avoid glass damage (pro tip: the rubber seal helps here).
- Pop on the covers: Aesthetic finish that snaps right in.
Boom! Done. Check out the video for the full visual walkthrough.
Hono Shop Experience
Their Santa Ana location is Tesla heaven – always buzzing with other owners getting wraps, tints, or accessories. They handled my roof rack flawlessly, and I've got separate videos coming for the soft close door kit and frunk/trunk lighting. Stay tuned!
