I recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo bars # TH711200 mounted on the Thule Rapid Podium Feet # TH460R using the mounting kit # THKIT4051 . The Wingbar Evo is going to provide you with the most aerodynamic bar set for a quiet driving experience. These bars come with the T-slots that allow for easily mounting accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and kayak carriers.

Depending on the color of your 2019 Kia Soul, you may want to go with all black bars. If that is the case, you would use # TH711220 for the black Thule WingBar Evo.

The one caveat to having both the panoramic roof AND the flush side rails is that with the way that the panoramic roof operates, you may not be able to open/close the roof while the bars are installed.
