Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2011 Kia Optima with Sunroof and a Yakima FrontLoader Bike Rack
Question:
Hi, I have a 2011 Kia Optima with a sunroof. Which bike rack would fit on this car? Id like to be able to transport my road bike or my mountain bike on the rack. Thank you!

Helpful Expert Reply:
Does your 2011 Kia Optima already have a roof rack? If it does then the center to center distance from one crossbar to the other will need to be 16 to 48 inches and the Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 will fit.
If you do not have a roof rack then you will first need to add one. Inno roof rack # INXB130-138, # INXS250, and # INK607 is a great option that will fit your Optima and the bike rack. Please note that with this or any bike rack it is not recommended to open the sunroof because the sunroof could potentially hit the roof rack and it will be noisy.
