Roof Rack Recommendation for 2017 Kia Sportage with Raised Roof Rails

Question:

I have a 2017 kia sportage ex with factory installed roof rails that run front to back. Will these bars work and will I still be able to open the panoramic sunroof? Thank you

For your 2017 Kia Sportage with raised roof rails the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2 and # RRSX023 is a confirmed fit that will work well. We had the chance to install this rack on a 2017 Sportage and it fit and worked great. Check out the install video link down below.

It's not advisable to open a sunroof with a roof rack installed as the wind noise will be very loud.
