Recommended Roof Rack For 2015 Kia Soul
Question:
Hi, I was wondering if this fits a Kia Soul 2015? And What is the weight max, that it should be? Im taking a cross country trip... Ive heard the clips do not fit my car.... and ratchet straps were suggested. Any thoughts? I do not have a roof rack

The Rightline Gear Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag - 15 cu ft - 44" x 34" x 16" # RL100A20 is not a vehicle specific fit. The clips are also not vehicle specific so they may or may not fit your door frames or inner molding. If that is the case, you can run the included straps inside your vehicle, along the headliner, and then outside over the cargo carrier. Your car doors will close easily over the straps. No ratchet straps are needed. The roof capacity is only stated in your owners manual if using a roof rack.
You may want to consider adding a roof rack to your system that you can secure this bag to. If you do not have a panoramic glass on your roof, I recommend the Thule roof rack consisting of:
Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack - Fixed Mounting Points/Flush, Factory Side Rails # TH7602-TH7602
Thule Roof Rack Fit Kit for Podium-Style Foot Packs # THKIT3146
This roof rack is a confirmed fit and has a rated capacity of 165 lbs. The locks # TH450400 are available separately to deter theft. It has a custom/factory look when installed. I've attached a video for you.
