I've measured with a tape measure, and it looks like the opening is just a tad too small to slide in a 4x4 sheet of plywood. I'm curious if anyone has tried.
Thanks,

I thought this sounded familiar.

Can I fit plywood/sheetrock in the cargo bay?
I'm scoping out a hybrid for my next vehicle. In addition, I plan to be doing a significant amount of remodeling over the next several years, so whatever I get needs to be conducive to hauling remodeling and construction supplies. I have a Accord Coupe right now which is absolutely garbage at...

That's right THEY DON'T!
I bought a 4x8 sheet and had it cut down and I couldn't get it to fit. Fortunately I didn't need it as 4x4, so I did have it cut down to 3.25 x 4 x2 (and extra pieces too) and that worked.
But yeah, 4' boards don't fit in it. And with a renovation job on my docket, I am planning on getting a trailer soon.

My relative could not get a 4' x 8' into his SUV. So, he put up roof rails on his vehicle.
The sheet of plywood or sheetrock goes on top of the rails and gets tied down with straps.
The only thing is that you can not drive at highway speeds as the wind tends to bend or break the boards.

the mighty CRV can haul many things, from snowblowers, washing machines, to small home depot sheds... but plywood, unfortunately is not one of them.
Along these lines, I would also advise to be wary of what/how you're putting wood or other hard/stiff items in your car that do not easily break/crumble on impact. Having a long thick piece of plywood, even if it did fit in the CR-V, right up agains the back of your seat might nto be the best thing in a rear end accident, I'm with williamsj on this one....just rent a truck or Rblancarte on the trailer suggestion.
Throw caution to the wind and haul a 24' extension ladder. Even if plywood sits flat with tailgate open, wood against wood
will slide. You need to secure the load from behind so that you don't leave the wood upon accelerating. Remember inertia?
