Roof Rack and Kayak Carriers for 2013 Kia Optima with Panoramic Glass Roof
Question:
My Optima has a full Panoramic Moon Roof. Is there a rack system that will fit the car but still allow the power roof to operate? I would be satisfied with a rack that would do the job even if the power portion of the roof would have to stay inatcive when rack installed. Also wld need double Kayak carriers.

Expert Reply:
We do have a roof rack that will fit your 2013 Kia Optima with the Panoramic glass roof. However you will not be able to open the roof while the roof rack is installed.
You will need the following parts for the roof rack:
Crossbars, # RRVA126B-2
Feet, # RRRLKVA
Clamps # DK283
Then for a 2-kayak compatible carrier you can use 2 of the J-Style Kayak carriers # S512. Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual and/or Kia for the roof capacity before loading.
