Will a Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Fit a 2015 Kia Optima Turbo with Panoramic View Roof
Question:
Would this rack work on my 2015 Kia Optima Turbo with Panoramic View Roof? I plan to carry a paddle board. I currently dont have a rack on the car. Would this be the best model in the Rhino Rack brand for my car? Can you suggest what else I will need for my new paddle board to go on the rack? : Thank you for any help that you can give me! :

Expert Reply:
Rhino-Rack roof rack # RR84MR will fit a 2015 Kia Optima with the panoramic glass roof but you have to be careful because part of each foot could rest on the glass which isn't really meant to support weight. Also, you would not be able to open the roof (if it is the type that opens) with the roof rack installed. I have linked a video review for you. This roof rack includes everything needed for installation.
For a paddleboard carrier I recommend the Thule SUP Shuttle # TH811XT. Thule makes a quality product and this carrier is one of the more inexpensive options. I have linked a video review of this carrier for you.
