Will Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 Fit Roof with Raised Siderails
The Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100S30 can attach to raised side rails like what you have on your 2009 Kia Rondo. We normally don't recommend having any weight on a vehicle sunroof directly so best option would be to have it behind the glass. This measures 48" long x 40" wide x 19" tall for you to compare to the roof of your vehicle.

Wiring Harness With Easy Install For 2009 Kia Rondo
There has been some issues with the green wire being too short to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56222 on the Kia Soul without splicing in extra wire. I do not believe you will have that issue with the Rondo because we have not had any complaints at all about the Rondo and the Curt harness. However, I recommend to go with the Tekonsha brand harness part # 118431 for the 2009 Kia Rondo because the Tekonsha brand is more reliable and tends to last a bit longer....

Can a Class II Three Bike Rack be Used with a Draw-Tite Trailer Class I Hitch on a 2008 Rondo by Kia
The only hitch available for the Kia Rondo is the Curt Class I hitch, item # C11031. Class I hitches are limited to 2 bikes because of the torque applied to the hitch and vehicle frame by the weight of the bikes and bike rack and the distance they stick out behind the vehicle. I recommend a 2 bike rack like the the Thule Camber Bike Rack, item # TH9058, or the Swagman XC2 Wheel Mount Bike Rack, item # S64650, for your 2008 Kia Rondo. If you need to carry more than 2 bikes you could also...

Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2007 Kia Rondo
That is because you most likely have a model year 2007 Kia Rondo that happened to be built in the very end of 2006. There are no fits for 2006 Rondos because there wasn't a 2006 Rondo made in the US. I can almost guarantee that you actually have a 2007 Rondo, especially considering that your vehicle was built in December of 2006. For a hitch you would then want the Curt hitch part # C11031.

Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack for a 2014 Kia Carens or Rondo with Flush Rails
The Kia Carens is not available in the United States so I checked the South Korean/Indonesian Thule fit guides to determine fit. The Carens is the same thing as the Kia Rondo we have here. For the Rondo you would use AeroBlade Edge rack # TH7602-TH7602 with fit kit # THKIT4036. The Carens should be using Thule WingBar Edge 9592 and fit kit 4036 which would need to be purchased from a South Korean or Indonisian Thule dealer since we cannot get those parts. The bar width is not adjustable....

Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Kia Rondo
All of the trailer hitches for the 2008 Kia Rondo are Class I hitches with 1-1/4 inch receivers. We will not have anything that you can use to raise your bike rack.

Which Ball Mount and Hitch Ball Should I use with My Draw-Tite 24797 on my 2009 Kia Rondo
The proper draw bar for your Draw-Tite hitch, part # 24797 is in fact the draw bar you were looking at, part # 3594. This draw bar uses a 3/4 inch shank diameter ball, so if you need a 2 inch ball you should use part # 19258.
