The Honda Accord is a bare-roof sedan across all modern generations — it has no factory side rails — which means every set of cross bars for Honda Accord uses a door-frame clamp system that installs without drilling. While the roofline is clean and consistent, the fitment still varies by generation: the 8th gen, 9th gen, 10th gen, and the current 11th gen all have slightly different roof profiles.
All five sets below are bare-roof designs, install without drilling, and are aluminum with a black powder-coat finish. Sunroof note: the crossbars sit over the roof and block sunroof use once installed — a common Accord fitment caveat worth knowing before buying.
