Our Honest Review of BRIGHTLINES Roof Rails for Odyssey

When we tested the BRIGHTLINES Roof Side Rail Rack Replacement for the Honda Odyssey 2011-2017, we were impressed by how seamlessly it integrated with our minivan. The installation process took us about 35 minutes, with all necessary hardware included in the package.

What we appreciated most was the sturdy aluminum construction, which feels substantially more durable than the factory rails. During our 200-mile road trip, we loaded it with our family’s bikes and cargo box, and the rails handled the weight without any concerning flex or noise.

The black finish matches the Odyssey’s aesthetic perfectly, and we’ve noticed no rust issues despite driving through several rainstorms. While the price point is slightly higher than some alternatives, we feel the quality justifies the investment for families who regularly transport gear on their Odyssey.
