  • Aftermarket Roof Rack for 2017 Kia Sportage with Factory-Installed Flush Side Rails
  • The linked page displays all aftermarket roof rack options for the 2017 Kia Sportage that has factory-installed flush side rails on the roof. Among the options the best value in my opinion comes from the Rhino-Rack Vortex system. We offer this with parts # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023. The rack's elliptical bars will generate less noise than round or square bars.

  • Recommended Roof Rack for Roof Mounted Tent on 2017 Kia Sportage
  • According to Rhino Rack, their available roof rack for your 2017 Sportage that uses the # RRSX023 roof rack feet isn't rated for a roof top tent. The good news is that Yakima has a rack that would work. The rack would consist of the following parts: 50 Inch CoreBars, part # Y00421 RidgeLine Towers, part # Y00145 RidgeClip fit clips, part # Y06021 The rack would have a 600 lb static capacity (while the vehicle isn't in motion) which would be perfect for a roof mounted tent.

  • Kia Sportage & 4 Bikes or Cargo Carrier
  • Hello, Thanks for the question, I forwarded an email to you earlier about your original question but that may have been after you sent this. Yes, the trailer hitch I suggested, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13120, will work with either a cargo carrier or a bike rack but you can not use both at the same time. However, if you are considering a bike rack too, then I suggest you look at the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 Bike Rack w/ Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85. As stated previously,...

  • Best Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2017 Kia Sportage
  • For a hitch the best option is a 2 inch hitch like the part # e72TR which is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Kia Sportage. I attached an install video for this as well. I would recommend the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. It's a platform style bike rack that will fit your 2 inch hitch, it's super lightweight for a platform rack at 35 lbs, and it will only contact your bikes by grabbing them at the tires.

  • Mounting Hardware Needed to Mount Older Yakima Accessories to Aero-Style Crossbars
  • If you have a variety of older Yakima products that you want to mount to crossbars that are 2-1/2" wide x 3/4" tall then the Universal MightyMounts # Y03590 would be your best bet. These adapters fit a wide variety of Yakima products but they are somewhat specific. If you can let me know what products you are wanting to mount them on I can see about verifying if these will fit or what other parts you may need.
